Standing In The Shadows Of Love Lyrics By Four Tops

    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 now baby
    didn’t i
    didn’t i do the best i could now baby
    didn’t i

    so don’t you leave me 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
    just trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

    all alone i’m destined to be
    with misery my only company
    may come today in fact may come tomorrow
    but it’s for sure i ain’t got nothing but sorrow
    now don’t your conscience kinda bother you
    how can you watch me cry after all i’ve done for you
    now hold on a minute

    gave you all the love i had now
    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 not to cry out loud
    you know crying it ain’t gonna help me now
    what did i do to cause you all this grief
    what did i say to make you wanna leave
    now wait a minute

    gave my heart and soul to you baby
    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
    i’m standing in the shadows of love
