Lyrics:

[Chorus:]
Ain’t it a shame to be falling in love
So late in the game, too late to catch
So I, I get strong
My heart can’t stand to be alone
I guess I go, I guess I go
Where the downhearted go

[Verse 1:]
I had a girl, she was so good to me
But I was a fool
I asked her to leave
So I, I could be strong
But she’s got a new boy at home
I guess I go, oh I just go
Where the downhearted go [alright, yes I will]
For the rest of my life
I’ve been selfish inside
She’s the only one
Could make me swallow my pride
But I, now I can see
But one of these days
She gon’ belong back to me [yeah]
Oh, baby

[Chorus:]
Ain’t it a shame, when you’re falling in love
You think you know pain
But it never lets up
So I, I get strong
My heart can’t stand to be alone
I guess I go, oh I get
Where the downhearted go
[Oh lord, I go]
Where the downhearted go
Don’t let me go
