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 (3x)
