Standing In The Shadows Of Love Lyrics - Our Kind Of Soul - Hall & Oates

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 

Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come 

I wanna run but there's no way to go 

'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know 

Without your love, the love I need 

It's the beginning of the end to me 

Could you take it away 

All of 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 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 

It might come today and it might 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 

'Cause I know cryin', it ain't gonna help me now 

Now what did I do to cause all this grief? 

What did I say to make you wanna 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 getting ready for the heartaches to come 

Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love? 

Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come 

Oh, standing in the shadows of love 

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
