Like sailing on a sailing ship to nowhere Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze As seagulls fly I knew that I was losing Love was washed away with the drifting tide Oh it's a dirty old shame when all you get from love is a love song It's got you laying up nights just waiting 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 end with a broken heart 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 It's got you laying up nights just waiting 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 end with a broken heart Oh it's a dirty old shame when all you get from love is a love song It's got you laying up nights just waiting 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 end with a broken heart Oh it's a dirty old shame when all you get from love is a love song It's got you laying up nights just waiting 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 end with a broken heart
