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 it´s a dirty old shame
when all you get from love is a love song
that´s got you layin´ up nights
just waitin´ for the music to start
it´s 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 it´s a dirty old shame
when all you get from love is a love song
that´s got you layin´ up nights
just waitin´ for the music to start
it´s 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

(repeat)

well it´s a dirty old shame
(repeat)
