Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches [bad word] Standing in the shadows of love
I'm just waitin' for the heartaches [bad word] 
I want [bad word] 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 for me
'Cause you've taking away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
Don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches [bad word] Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches [bad word] 
All alone I'm destined to be
with misery my [bad word] Might come today, [bad word] tomorrow
but it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now don't your conscience kind of bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I done for you
Now hold on a minute

Didn't I treat you right now honey didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches [bad word] Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches [bad word] 
I want [bad word] but there's no place to go
'cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
Now don't your conscience kinda, kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
after all the things I done for you

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you couldn't I
Didn't I do right by you didn't I
Didn't I [bad word] you right now

Kept you in luxury didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you didn't I
Didn't I treat you right now didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

I'm trying hard not to cry
You know my crying ain't gonna help me now
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
So don't you leave me

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