(Chorus)
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm just waiting 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 for me
'Cause you've taken away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving
(Bridge)
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
(Chorus)
All alone I'm destined ot be
With misery my only company
Might come today 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
Now hold on a minute
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
I want to fun 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 screw 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
Ddin'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
(Chorus)
