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 get 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 get to take the blame For a love song Because the best love songs Are written with a broken heart
