Standing in the Shadows of Love Songtext
von Rod Stewart

Standing in the shadows of love
I′m getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm just waitin′ for the heartaches to come

I want to run, but there's no place to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know
Without your love, the love I need
It′s the beginning of the end for me

′Cause you've taking away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving

Didn′t I treat you right now, baby, didn't I?
Didn′t I do the best for you now, didn't I?
Don′t you leave me

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


All alone I′m destined to be
With misery my only company
Might come today, might come tomorrow
But it′s for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now don′t your conscience kind of bother you?
How can you watch me cry after all I done for you?
Now hold on a minute

Didn't I treat you right now, honey, didn′t I?
Didn't I do the best for you now, didn′t I?
So don't you leave me

Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

I want to run, but there′s no place 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

Now don′t your conscience kinda, kinda bother you?
How can you watch me cry after all the things I done for you?


(Didn't I treat you right now, baby, didn′t I?)
Didn't I do the best for you, didn′t I?
Didn't I do right by you, didn't I?
Didn′t I screw you right now?
Kept you in luxury, didn′t I?

Didn't I do the best for you, didn′t I?
Didn't I treat you right now, didn′t I?
Didn't I do the best for you now, didn′t I?

I'm trying hard not to cry
You know my crying ain't gonna help me now
Without your love, the love that I need
It′s the beginning of the end for me
So don′t you leave me

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I′m getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, standing
