Standing in the Shadows of Love lyrics

(Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready or the heartaches to come)

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 wanna run but there's no place to go

'Cause heartaches will find me I know

Without your love, your love I need

It's the beginning of the end of 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 treat you right

Now baby didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

Didn't I do the best I could

Now didn't I, didn't I?

(Don't you leave me) standing in the shadows of love

Getting ready for the heart aches to come

Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?

I'm tryin' my best to get ready for the heart aches to come

All alone I'm destined to be

With misery my only company

It may come today, or it may come tomorrow

But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

I thought your conscience would kinda bother you

How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?

Hold on a minute!

I gave you all the love I had

Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

When you needed me I was always there

Now wasn't I, wasn't I?

Don't you leave me (standing in the shadows of love)

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

I'm trying not to cry out loud

'Cause all this cryin' it ain't, it ain't gonna help me none

Now what did I do, girl, to cause all this grief?

Now what did I say to make you want to leave?

Now wait a minute!

I gave my heart and soul to you

Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

And didn't I always treat you good

Now didn't I, didn't I?

So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love...
