Crying Shame

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
