Standing in the shadows of love, love, love, love
Waiting for my heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love, love, love, love
Waiting for my heartaches to come

I want to run, but there's no place to go
Cause heartaches will follow me, I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
You took away my reason for living
You pushed aside the love I been giving
Now, wait a minute

Didn't I treat you right now, baby, didn't I?
Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, well
Didn't I do the best I could, didn't?
Awn, baby, yeah, baby, yeah

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting, oh

All alone I'm destined to be
Cause misery, was my only company
It might come today, and it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow
Don't your conscience kind of bother you?
Girl, how can you watch me cry after all I done for you?

Gave you all the love I had, didn't I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When you needed me, I was always there, wasn't I?
Awnn, baby

Standing in the shadows of love, just
Waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting
Standing in the shadows of love, just
Waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting
Standing in the shadows of love, just
I'm waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting
Standing in the shadows of love, just
Waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting

What did I do, to cause all this greed
Girl, what did I say to make you wanna leave
Gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I?
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And everything I had in me too, didn't I?

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come, waiting, oh
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come, oh, baby
Don't leave me, baby
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come
