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 [Repeat: x1] 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 [Repeat: x1] --- Cryin' Shame - Michael Johnson
