|
Standing in the shadows of love
|
I'm getting ready or the heart aches 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
|
For heartaches will find me I know.
|
Without your love, a love I need
|
It's the beginning of the end of me.
|
|
Cuz 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 always 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 see 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
|
Doing 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've 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 outloud
|
Cuz 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?
|
|
(Don't you see me) Standing in the shadows of love
|
I'm getting ready or the heart aches to come.
|
(repeat to to fade)
