The Carpenters - All You Get from Love is a Love Song lyrics

rate me

Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere<br />

Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze<br />

As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'<br />

Love was washed away with the driftin' tide<br />

<br />

Oh it's a dirty old shame<br />

When all you get from love is a love song<br />

That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'<br />

For the music to start<br />

It's such a dirty old shame when you got to<br />

Take the blame for a love song<br />

Because the best love songs<br />

Are written with a broken heart<br />

<br />

And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding<br />

The future that lies before me I cannot see<br />

Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising<br />

Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me<br />

<br />

Oh it's a dirty old shame<br />

When all you get from love is a love song<br />

That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'<br />

For the music to start<br />

It's such a dirty old shame when you got to<br />

Take the blame for a love song<br />

Because the best love songs<br />

Are written with a broken heart<br />

<br />

Look out, look out<br />

The future I cannot see<br />

<br />

Oh it's a dirty old shame<br />

When all you get from love is a love song<br />

That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'<br />

For the music to start<br />

It's such a dirty old shame when you got to<br />

Take the blame for a love song<br />

Because the best love songs<br />

Are written with a broken heart<br />

<br />

And it's a dirty old shame<br />

When all you get from love is a love song<br />

That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'<br />

For the music to start<br />

It's such a dirty old shame when you got to<br />

Take the blame for a love song<br />

Because the best love songs<br />

Are written with a broken heart<br /><br />
