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      Look out, look out   The future I cannot see      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 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
