Michael Johnson - Crying Shame lyrics

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
