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

(look at, look at, the future 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 at, look at, the future I cannot see)



Oh it's a dirty old shame

When all you get from love is a love song

(All you get from love is an old 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

(Got to take the blame for an old love song)

Because the best love songs are written

With a broken heart



[Repeat x2]

Oh it's a dirty old shame

When all you get from love is a love song

(All you get from love is an old love song)

That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'

For the music to start
