All you get from love is a love song lyrics

Like sailing on a sailing ship to nowhere

Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze

As seagulls fly I knew that I was losing

Love was washed away with the drifting tide

Oh it's a dirty old shame

When all you get from love is a love song

It's got you laying up nights

Waiting for the music to start

It's such a dirty old shame

When you've got to take the blame for a love song

Because the best love songs

Are written with a broken heart

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

It's got you laying up nights

Waiting for the music to start

It's such a dirty old shame

When you've got to take the blame for a love song

Because the best love songs

Are written with a broken heart

Oh it's a dirty old shame

When all you get from love is a love song

It's got you laying up nights

Waiting for the music to start

It's such a dirty old shame

When you've got to take the blame for a love song

Because the best love songs

Are written with a broken heart

Oh it's a dirty old shame

When all you get from love is a love song

It's got you laying up nights

Waiting for the music to start

It's such a dirty old shame

When you've got to take the blame for a love song

Because the best love songs

Are written with a broken heart
