Jackson 5 - Standing In The Shadows Of Love Lyrics
E. holland, l. dozier, b. hollandLead vocals: michael and jermaine - 1969Standing in the shadows of loveIm getting ready or the heart aches to come.Standing in the shadows of loveIm getting ready for the heartaches to come.(cant you see me) standing in the shadows of loveIm getting ready for the heartaches to come.I wanna run but theres no place to goFor heartaches will find me I know.Without your love, a love I needIts the beginning of the end of me.Cuz youve taken away all my reasons for livingWhen you pushed aside all the love Ive been giving.Now wait a minute!Didnt I always treat you rightNow baby didnt i, didnt i, didnt i?Didnt I do the best I couldNow didnt i, didnt i?(dont you see me) standing in the shadows of loveGetting ready for the heart aches to come.(cant you see me) standing in the shadows of loveDoing my best to get ready for the heart aches to come.All alone Im destined to beWith misery my only company.It may come today, or it may come tomorrowBut its for sure Ive got nothing but sorrow.I thought your conscience would kinda bother youHow can you watch me cry after all Ive done for you?Hold on a minute!I gave you all the love I hadNow didnt i, didnt i, didnt i?When you needed me I was always thereNow wasnt i, wasnt i?(dont you leave me) standing in the shadows of loveIm getting ready for the heartaches to come.Im trying not to cry outloudCuz all this cryin it aint, it aint gonna help me none!Now what did I do, girl, to cause all this grief?Now what did I say to make you want to leave?Now wait a minute!I gave my heart and soul to youNow didnt i, didnt i, didnt i?And didnt I always treat you goodNow didnt i, didnt i?(dont you see me) standing in the shadows of loveIm getting ready or the heart aches to come.(repeat to to fade)
