(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 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 my reasons for livin'.
When you pushed aside,
All the love I've been giving.
Now wait a minute.
Didn't I teach you right, now, baby, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could, now, didn't I?

So don't you leave me,
Standin' in the shadows of love.
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.
Don't you see me,
Standing in the shadows of love?
Just tryin' my 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 ain't got nothin' but sorrow.

Now, don't your conscience kinda bother you?
How can you watch me cry,

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.)
(Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come.)
I'm tryin' not to cry out loud.
You know, cryin', it 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, now, didn't I?
And din't I always treat you good, now, 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.
Fade.
Tryin' my best,
To get ready for the heartaches to come
Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love...
