What A 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.
Wasn't I good to you
Didn't I show it
And if I ever hurt you
I didn't know it
If you think I don't care
Then you're mistaken
My love was always there
But now my heart's breakin'
Chorus
(Oh) baby oh what a crying shame
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh baby my life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh what a crying shame
'Cause I believed in you
From the beginning
I thought our love was true
But now it's all ending
Repeat chorus twice
Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
Oh what a crying shame
