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)
