Standing In The Shadow Of Love

The Four Tops

Standing In The Shadow Of Love (Original Version)

Standing in the shadows of love
And then waiting for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me, standing in the shadows of love
IÂ’m getting ready for the heartaches to come

I'd run but there's no where to go
Cause it will follow me I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end, for me
IÂ’ll tell you what, you taking away my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute

Didn't I teach you right, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I, didn't I?
While you needed me
So don't you leave me standing in the shadow of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me, standing in the shadow of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'll desperately be
With misery my only company
It might come today, and it might come tomorrow
With this sorrow, I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Don't your conscience bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you
Hold a minute

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

(Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come)

I'm trying not, to shout out loud
Cause, gal you ain't gonna help me now

What did I do, to cause all this grief
And what'd I say to make you wanna leave
Hold on a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I, didn't I?
Didn't I always treat you good, didn't I, didn't I?

Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see, you standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see girl
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Standing in the shadows of loveÂ…
