| Standing in the shadows of love
|
| I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
| Can’t you see me standing in the shadows of love;
|
| I’m getting ready for the 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 of me
|
| 'Cause you’re taking away all my reasons for living
|
| When you pushed aside all the love I been giving
|
| Now wait a minute
|
| Didn’t I treat you right, now baby, didn’t I?
|
| Didn’t I do the best I could now, Didn’t I?
|
| So don’t you leave me
|
| Standing in the shadows of love
|
| I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
| Don’t you see me standing in the shadows of love;
|
| Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
|
| All alone
|
| I’m destined to be with misery my only company
|
| May come today, it might come tomorrow but it’s for sure
|
| I ain’t got nothing but sorrow
|
| Now don’t your conscience kind of bother you
|
| How can you watch me cry after all I done for you
|
| Hold on a minute
|
| Gave you all the love I had now, didn’t I?
|
| When you needed me I was always there now, wasn’t I?
|
| I’m standing here watching you go
|
| Girl, you know that I’m gonna need you so
|
| I’m trying hard not to cry out loud
|
| You know crying it ain’t gonna help me now
|
| What did I do to cause all this grief?
|
| Now what did I say to make you want to leave
|
| Now wait a minute
|
| Gave my heart and soul to you now, didn’t I?
|
| And didn’t I always treat you good, now didn’t I?
|
| Standing in the shadows of love
|
| I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
| Don’t you see me standing in the shadows of love;
|
| Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come |
