Standing In The Shadows Of Love Lyrics - Essential Going Back - Phil Collins

[Originally by The Four Tops] 

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 wanna run but there's no way to go 

'Cause heartaches will follow me I know 

Without your love, a love I need 

It's the beginning of the end for me 

'Cuz you've taken 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, 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 the best to get ready for the heartaches to come 

All alone I'm destined to be 

With misery my only company 

It may come today, and it might come tomorrow 

But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrow 

Now won'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 

You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me none

What did I do to cause all this grief? 

Now 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 

Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love 

Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come 

Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love
