Standing in the Shadows of Love

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm just waitin' 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 for me

'Cause you've taking away all my reason for living

When you pushed aside all the love I been giving

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

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 getting ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'm destined to be

With misery my only company

Might come today, 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

Now hold on a minute

Didn't I treat you right now honey didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

So don't you leave me

Standing in the shadows of love

Getting ready for the heartaches to come

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 that I need

It's the beginning of the end for me

Now don't your conscience kinda, kinda bother you

How can you watch me cry

After all the things I done for you

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you couldn't I

Didn't I do right by you didn't I

Didn't I screw you right now

Kept you in luxury didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you didn't I

Didn't I treat you right now didn't I

Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

I'm trying hard not to cry

You know my crying ain't gonna help me now

Without your love the love that I need

It's the beginning of the end for me

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 getting ready for the heartaches to come
