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 drifting tide Ooh, it's a dirty ocean Where all you get from love is a love song Hey, it's a dirty ocean When you have to sign your name to a love song And it's a dirty ocean When you have 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 blindin' A future that lies before me I cannot see And though tomorrow I know the sun is risin' Lighten up the world for everyone but for me Ooh, it's a dirty ocean Where all you get from love is a love song Hey, it's a dirty ocean When you have to sign your name to a love song Ooh, it's a dirty ocean When you have to take the blame for a love song Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart Ooh, it's a dirty ocean Where all you get from love is a love song Hey, it's a dirty ocean When you have to sign your name to a love song Hey, it's a dirty ocean Where all you get from love is a love song
