Standing In The Shadows Of Love - The Ventures

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 want to run 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 of me

'Cause you’re taking away all my reasons for living

When you pushed aside all the love I 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, 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;

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, 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 now, didn’t I?

When you needed me I was always there now, wasn’t I?

I’m standing here watching you go

Girl, you know that I’m gonna need you so

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 want to leave

Now wait a minute

Gave my heart and soul to you now, didn’t I?

And didn’t I always treat you good, now didn’t I?

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
