Standing In The Shadows Of Love Lyrics
by Four Tops (The)

Standing in the shadows of love
Waitin´ for the heartaches to come
Can´t you see me standing in the shadows of love
I getting ready for the heartaches to come
I´d 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 me reasons for livin´
When you pushed aside all the love I´ve been giving
Now wait a minute
Didn´t I teach you right, didn´t I?
Didn´t I do the best I could, didn´t I?
So don´t you leave me standin´ in the shadow of love
I´m gettin´ ready for the heartaches to come
Don´t you see me standing in the shadow of love
Just tryin´ my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I´ll desperately be
With misery my only company
Come today, in fact come tomorrow
Sorrow, I ain´t got nothin´ but sorrow
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, didn´t I?
When you needed me I was there, now wasn´t I?
(Standing in the shadows of love
Gettin´ ready for the heartaches to come)
I´ve tried not to cry out loud
No gal you 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, didn´t I?
Now din´t I always treat you good, 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
Tryin´ my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of... [Fade]
Standing in the shadows of love
Waitin´ for the heartaches to come
Can´t you see me standing in the shadows of love
I getting ready for the heartaches to come
I´d 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 me reasons for livin´
When you pushed aside all the love I´ve been giving
Now wait a minute
Didn´t I teach you right, didn´t I?
Didn´t I do the best I could, didn´t I?
So don´t you leave me standin´ in the shadow of love
I´m gettin´ ready for the heartaches to come
Don´t you see me standing in the shadow of love
Just tryin´ my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I´ll desperately be
With misery my only company
Come today, in fact come tomorrow
Sorrow, I ain´t got nothin´ but sorrow
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, didn´t I?
When you needed me I was there, now wasn´t I?
(Standing in the shadows of love
Gettin´ ready for the heartaches to come)
I´ve tried not to cry out loud
No gal you 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, didn´t I?
Now din´t I always treat you good, 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
Tryin´ my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of... [Fade]
