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            Repeat (*) three times
