Standing in the Shadows of Love Songtext
von Barry White

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for my heartaches to come

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Girl, I'm gonna miss ya

I wanna run but there's no way I go
Heartaches will follow me, I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
You tooked away my reason for living
You pushed aside the love I've been giving


Now wait a minute
Didn't I treat you right now baby, didn't I?
Yeah, well, yeah yeah
Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I?
Oh baby, yeah
Baby, yeah

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting, waiting, oh (waiting for my heartaches to come)
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting, waiting, oh (waiting for my heartaches to come)

All alone, just couldn't see
'Cause misery was my only company
It might come today but it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Don't your conscience kind of bother you
Girl, how can you watch me cry after all I done for you

Gave you all the love I had, didn't I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When you need now wouldn't I?
Oh, baby

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting, waiting (waiting for my heartaches to come)
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting, waiting (waiting for my heartaches to come)


Standing in the shadows of love
I'm waiting, waiting (waiting for my heartaches to come)
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting, waiting (waiting for my heartaches to come)

What did I do to call honest greed?
Girl, what did I say to make you wanna leave?

Gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I?
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Did everything you asked me to, didn't I?
Ooh, baby

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting, waiting, oh (waiting for my heartaches to come)
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting, waiting, oh (waiting for my heartaches to come)

My baby, don't leave me baby
Standing in the shadows of love (waiting for my heartaches to come)
(Standing in the shadows of love, waiting for my heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love, waiting for my heartaches to come)
