Standing in the shadows of love lyrics
by Four Tops



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'd run but there's nowhere 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 the reasons for living
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 standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love?
Just trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone, I'll desperately be
With misery my only company
May come today, in fact may come tomorrow
But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now 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, now, didn't I?
When you needed me, always there, now, wasn't I?

(Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come)
I'm trying not to cry out loud
You know, crying, it ain't gonna help me now

What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what'd I say to make you wanna leave
Now wait a minute

I gave my heart and soul to you, now, didn't I?
And didn't I always treat you good, now, didn't I?

I'm standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love
