Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heart aches 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 follow d 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 treat you right, Now baby 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
I'm 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,
When you needed me I was always there
Now wasn't I, wasn't I?

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,
And didn't I always treat you good Now didn't I, didn't I?

I'm Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for
the heart aches 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
follow 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 treat you right,
Now baby 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
I'm getting ready for the
heartaches 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 might 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,
When you needed me
I was always there
Now wasn't I, wasn't I?

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!

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,
And didn't I always treat you good
Now didn't I, 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
Getting ready for the
heartaches to come

Janis Ian Standing in the Shadows of Love Lyrics:
I've been standin' in the shadows of love,
Hidin' from the sun up above.
Wonderin' if my heart,
Would ever feel the spark,
And say, "I’ve finally had enough."
I've been standin' in the shadows of love.

(Ah-oo.) I built a wall of the stones I'd swallowed.
(Ah-oo.) Stones of fear and pride.
(Ah-oo.) I built it tall so no one could follow,
(Ah-oo.) And bother me inside.
I lived my life in that wall's shade,
I hid behind the games I played.
But now it's time to make my getaway.

I've been standin' in the shadows of love,
(Standin' in the shadows.)
Hidin' from the sun up above.
(Hidin' in the shadows.)
Wonderin' if my heart,
Would ever feel the spark,
And say, "I’ve finally had enough."
I've been standin' in the shadows of love.

(Ah-oo.) I used to have such a mean reputation,
(Ah-oo.) I was cold and cruel.
(Ah-oo.) When I walked into a new situation,
(Ah-oo.) I knew just what to do.
I thought this world was full of fools,
Except for me, who could play it cool.
I played so cold, I almost froze,
Until I met you.

Now I'm standin' in the shadows of love,
(Standin' in the shadows.)
Hidin' from the sun up above.
(Hidin' in the shadows.)
Wonderin' if my heart,
Would ever feel the spark,
And say, "I’ve finally had enough."
I've been standin' in the shadows,
Standin' in the shadows of love.

[Instrumental to end.]

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

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 where to go
Cuz heartaches will follow me I know.
Without your love, the 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 treat you right, Now baby didn't I,
Didn't I do the best I could, Now didn't I?

(So don't you see 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
Tryin my 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, it might 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?
Now hold on a minute!
I gave you all the love I had, Now didn't I,
When you needed me I was always there
Now wasn't I, wasn't I?

Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come.
I'm trying not to cry out loud
Y'know 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,
And didn't I always treat you good Now didn't I?

I'm Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready

Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready or the heart aches to come.

Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come.
(cant you see me) standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come.

I wanna run but theres no place to go
For heartaches will find me I know.
Without your love, a love I need
Its the beginning of the end of me.

Cuz youve taken away all my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love Ive been giving.
Now wait a minute!
Didnt I always treat you right
Now baby didnt i, didnt i, didnt i?
Didnt I do the best I could
Now didnt i, didnt i?

(dont you see me) standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heart aches to come.
(cant you see me) standing in the shadows of love
Doing my best to get ready for the heart aches to come.

All alone Im destined to be
With misery my only company.

It may come today, or it may come tomorrow
But its for sure Ive got nothing but sorrow.
I thought your conscience would kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry after all Ive done for you?

Hold on a minute!
I gave you all the love I had
Now didnt i, didnt i, didnt i?
When you needed me I was always there
Now wasnt i, wasnt i?

(dont you leave me) standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come.
Im trying not to cry outloud
Cuz 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 you
Now didnt i, didnt i, didnt i?
And didnt I always treat you good
Now didnt i, didnt i?

(dont you see me) standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready or the heart aches to come.
