All You Get From Love Is A Love Song
- Recorded by: The Carpenters
- From the 1977 album, Passage
- Written by Steve Eaton
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere,
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze.
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losing,
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide
Chorus:
Oh it's a dirty old shame when all you get from love is a love song.
It's gotcha layin' up nights just waiting for the music to start.
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song,
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart.
Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin'
The future that lies before me I cannot see.
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising,
Lighting up the world for everyone but not for me.
Oh it's a dirty old shame when all you get from love is a love song.
It's gotcha layin' up nights just waiting for the music to start.
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song,
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart.
Instrumental break
Oh it's a dirty old shame when all you get from love is a love song.
It's gotcha layin' up nights just waiting for the music to start.
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song,
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart.
Repeat Chorus to fade
