Cryin' 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 the 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

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,

Wondering if I'll 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
