Standing  in the shadows of love,
Waitin'  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'd run  but there's no where 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 me reasons for living,
 When you pushed  aside all the love I've been giving.
 Now wait a minute...
Didn't  I teach 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...(plus)
 INTRO/CHORUS:
All  alone I'll desperately be,  with misery  my only company,
 It might come today,  in fact, come to..morrow,
 But for sure  I ain't got nothin' but sorrow.
Don't  your conscience 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.
 Gettin' ready  for the heartaches to come.
 I'm tring not  to cry out loud,
 you know cryin'  ain't gonna help me now.
 What did I do  to cause all this grief?
 Now what'd  I say to make you want to leave?
 Now wait a minute...
I  gave my heart and soul to you, now 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 gettin' ready  for the heartaches to come.
 Hope to see you.. standing  in the shadows of love.
 Trying your best to get ready  for the heartaches to come.
Standing  in the shadows of love...
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
