Standing In The Shadows Of Love

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?
I getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'd run
But there's no where 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
'Cause you've taken away
All my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving

Now wait a minute
Didn't I teach you right
Didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could
Didn't I?

So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadow of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love?
Just trying my best
To get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'll desperately be
With misery my only company
Come today
In fact, come tomorrow
Sorrow
I ain't got nothing but sorrow
Don't your conscience bother you

How can you watch me cry
After all I've done for you?
Now hold a minute
Gave you all the love I had
Didn't I?
When you needed me I was there
Now wasn't I?

Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
I've tried not to cry out loud
No gal you ain't gonna help me now

What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what'd I say to make you want to leave?
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you
Didn't I?
Now didn't I always treat you good
Didn't I?

I'm standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best
To get ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of
