Jackson 5 - Standing In The Shadows Of Love - Текст песни

(E. Holland, L. Dozier, B. Holland)

 Lead vocals: Michael and Jermaine

 Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready or the heart aches to

come.

 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 place to go

 For heartaches will find me I know.

Without your love, a love I need

It's the beginning of the end of me.

 Cuz you've taken away all my reasons for

living

 When you pushed aside all the love I've been

giving.

 Now wait a minute!

Didn't I always treat you right

 Now baby didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

Didn't I do the best I could

Now didn't I, didn't I?

 (Don't you see me) Standing in the shadows of

love

 Getting ready for the heart aches to come.

 (Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of

love

Doing my best to get ready for the heart aches

to come.

All alone I'm destined to be

 With misery my only company.

 It may come today, or it may come tomorrow

But it's for sure I've got nothing but

sorrow.

I thought your conscience would kinda bother

you

How can you watch me cry after all I've done for

you?

Hold on a minute!

I gave you all the love I had

 Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

 When you needed me I was always there

Now wasn't I, wasn't I?

 (Don't you leave me) Standing in the shadows of

love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to

come.

I'm trying not to cry outloud

 Cuz all this cryin' it ain't, it ain't 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 you

 Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

And didn't I always treat you good

Now didn't I, didn't I?

 (Don't you see me) Standing in the shadows of

love

I'm getting ready or the heart aches to

come.
