Without your love, your love I need
Now wait a minute!
I'm getting ready for the heart aches to come
I thought your conscience would kinda bother you
But it's for sure I've got nothing but sorrow
Didn't I, didn't I?
Trying my best to get ready for the heart aches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?
Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
'Cuz heartaches will find me, I know
Now what did I say to make you want to leave?
Standing in the shadows of love
I wanna run but there's no place to go
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?
May come today or it may come tomorrow
I'm trying not to cry out loud
Now didn't I, didn't I?
Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
'Cuz you've taken away all my reasons for living
With misery my only company
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Now wait a minute
Didn't I treat you right now baby
Didn't I do the best I could now
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wasn't I, wasn't I?
'Cuz all this cryin' it ain't, it ain't gonna help me none!
Trying my best to get ready for the heart aches to come
Hold on a minute!
I gave my heart and soul to you
And didn't I always treat you good
I'm getting ready for the heart aches to come
When you needed me, I was always there
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
All alone, I'm destined to be
It's the beginning of the end of me
What did I do, girl, to cause all this grief?
I'm getting ready for the heart aches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Gave you all the love I had
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?
