Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready or the heartaches [bad word] 

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches [bad word] 
(Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches [bad word] 

I [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
(Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of love
Doing my best to get ready for the heart aches [bad word] 

All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my [bad word] 

It [bad word] today, or it [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word]
