[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
I want to run but there's no way to go
Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, a love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
Because you've taken away all of 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 do the best I could, 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
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company
It may come today, and it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now won't your conscience kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now 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
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'm trying not to cry out loud
You know crying, it ain't going to help me none

[Bridge]
What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what did I say to make you want ti leave?
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I
And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love
