Standing in the Shadows of Love Songtext
von Daryl Hall & John Oates

I wanna run, but there′s nowhere to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know
Without your love, the love that I need
It′s the beginning of the end for me

'Cause you've taken away all my reasons for livin′
When you pushed aside all the love I′ve been giving
Can wait a minute

Didn't I teach you right, now baby, didn′t I?
Didn't I do the best I could, didn′t I?
So don't you leave me

Standing in the shadow of love, oh
I′m gettin' (ready for the heartaches to come)
Don't you see me (standing in the shadow of love)
Just trying my best to get (ready for the heartaches to come)

All alone and I′m destined to be
With misery, my only company
May come today, and it might come tomorrow
But it′s sure, I ain't got nothin′ but sorrow


Please don't take away all my reasons for livin′
Don't put aside all the love I′ve been giving
Now wait a minute

Gave you all the love I had now, didn't I?
When you needed me, I was there, now wasn't I?
Don′t you leave me (standing in the shadows of love)
Oh, I′m getting ready (getting ready for the heartaches to come)
Don't you see me (standing in the shadows of love)

I′m trying the best to get (ready for the heartaches to come)
Don't you leave me (standing in the shadows of love)
I′m trying my best to get (ready for the heartaches to come)
Don't you see me (standing in the shadows of love)
Oh, I′m doing the best to get (ready for the heartaches to come)

Oh, oh, oh
I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I?
I gave you all the love I had
Can't you see me (standing in the shadows of love)
Don′t leave me standing (ready for the heartaches to come)
Don′t you see me (standing in the shadows of love)


And I'm trying my best to get (ready for the heartaches to come)
Don′t leave me standing (standing in the shadows of love)
Oh, don't leave me standing (ready for the heartaches to come)
Doing my best (standing in the shadows of love)
Oh, I′m doing best to get (ready for the heartaches to come)

Standing in the shadows of love
Ready for the heartaches to come
(Standing in the shadows of love) I'm getting ready
Ready for the heartaches to come
