Jackson 5 – Standing in The Shadows of Love
E holland, l dozier, b holland
Lead vocals: michael and jermaine – 1969
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
(repeat to to fade)
