Standing In The Shadow Of LOve: The Four Tops: #1 in ’66. Capo 3 [Intro] 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. [Verse 1] I’d run but there’s nowhere 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 taken away    all me reasons for livin’ When you pushed aside all the love I’ve been giving. Now wait a minute... [Pre-Chorus] Didn’t I teach you right now baby didn’t I? Didn’t I do the best I could now didn’t I? So don’t you leave me...(plus) [Chorus] 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. [Verse 2] All alone I’ll desperately be with misery my only company It might come today in fact come tomorrow But for sure I ain’t got nothin’ but sorrow. Don’t your conscience bother you? How can you watch me cry after all I’ve done for you? Now hold on a minute... [Pre-Chorus] Gave you all the love I had now didn’t I? When you needed me I was always there now wasn’t I? [Chorus] Standing in the shadows of love             Fmaj 7                       E   E7 I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come I’m trying not to cry out loud you know cryin’ ain’t gonna help me now. Dsus 4                          Dm What did I do to cause all this grief? Now what’d I say to make you want to leave? Now wait a minute... [Outro] 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.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la douleur de l'absence et l'angoisse que l'on ressent lorsqu'on se prépare à vivre des déceptions amoureuses. Le protagoniste se retrouve dans une situation où l'amour qu'il a donné a été ignoré, laissant place à un sentiment de solitude. Il se rend compte qu'il ne peut fuir les chagrins qui le guettent, car ces dernières sont inévitables. On sent un mélange de désespoir et d'interrogation face à la trahison de l'être aimé, cherchant des réponses à ce qui a conduit à cette séparation. C'est véritablement un appel à reconnaître la valeur de l'amour offert et la souffrance qui en découle lorsque celui-ci est négligé.
