Like sailin on a sailin ship to nowhere Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin Love was washed away with the driftin tide Oh its a dirty old shame When all you get from love is a love song Thats got you layin up nights Just waitin for the music to start Its such a dirty old shame When you got to take the blame for a love song Because the best love songs are written With a broken heart And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding The future that lies before me I cannot see Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me Oh its a dirty old shame When all you get from love is a love song Thats got you layin up nights Just waitin for the music to start Its such a dirty old shame When you got to take the blame for a love song Because the best love songs are written With a broken heart
