Standing In The Shadows Of Love
(4:05)

Eddie & Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier

Les Paroles :

Standing in the shadows of love
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I’m getting ready for the heartaches of come

(Can’t you see me)
Standing the shadows of love
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come

I wanna run but there’s no place to go
‘Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, the love I need
It’s the beginning of the end of me

‘Cause 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 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
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can’t you see me
Standing the shadows of love
Trying 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 or it might come tomorrow
But it’s for sure I ain’t 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
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, not to cry outloud
‘Cause 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 wanna 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 leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
