|
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 me reasons for livin'
|
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
|
|
Standin' in the shadow of love
|
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
|
Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love
|
Just tryin' 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 nothin' 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
|
Gettin' 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 gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
|
Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love
|
Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
|
Standing in the shadows of...
