Crying Shame
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby said she's leaving and you know she didn't even tell me why, why, why
She really broke my heart when she loaded up her car and said goodbye, bye, bye
All alone in this blues cafe, wondering how we got this way
When love takes the blame, it's a crying shame
When love takes the blame, it's a crying shame
Baby said she's sorry and she never really meant to make me cry, cry, cry
She promised me forever but you know that she could never live a lie, lie, lie
All alone in this corner booth, will I ever know the truth
When love takes the blame, it's a crying shame
When love takes the blame, it's a crying shame
When love takes the blame, only the tears remain
And no one's there to hear you call when you need them most of all
Baby said by morning that she'd probably be a thousand miles away, way, way
She asked me to forgive her but I said it didn't matter anyway, way, way
All alone with my head bowed down, wondering if she'll ever turn around
When love takes the blame, it's a crying shame
When love takes the blame, it's a crying shame
