I promise me, I wouldn't cry
When the time came girl too say goodbye
I always knew that one day we would part
I always knew that you would break my heart

But that was a chance I had to take
And even though I knew that it would cause me pain
Just one look and I lost my way
And if you ask to do the same again

[Chorus:]

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for the heartache to come
In the shadows of love (ooh, ooh)

Some things in life are too good to resist
Opportunities that shouldn't be missed
But from the first time that I laid my eyes on you
I knew right then, I couldn't stop even if I wanted to

Cause some have you got under my skin
My heart was left with nothing stopped you breaking in
And even now I know that we through, over and over
I just wanna kiss you

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for the heartache to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Don't you need me baby? Don't you love me baby?
Don't you need me girl? Yeah yeah
Don't you need me baby? Don't you feel me baby?
Don't you need me girl? No

[Bridge:]

I'm just a man with the hole in my life
No stars are dancing in my sky tonight
Baby I need you to make this thing right
I can't be alone, not more one night

Ooh baby!
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for the heartache to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Oh waiting for the heartache to come
Don't you need me baby? Don't you feel me baby?
Don't you need me girl?
Standing in the shadows of love, baby
