The Four Tops – Standing In The Shadows Of Love lyrics

Standing in the shadows of love.
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love.
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.

I wanna run, but there's nowhere 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 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, baby, didn't I.
Didn't I do the best I could now, didn't I.

So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love.
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come.
Can't you see me standing in 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, it might come 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?
Hold on a minute.

Gave you all the love I had, didn't I.
When you needed me, I was always there now, wasn't I.

Standing in the shadows of love.
Getting ready for the heartaches to come.
I'm trying hard not to cry out loud.
You know crying, it ain't gonna help me now.
What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what did I say to make you wanna leave?
Now wait a minute.

Gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I.
And didn't I always treat you good now, didn't I.

I'm 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.
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come.
Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love.
