Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wasn't I good to you?
Didn't I show it?
And If I ever hurt you
I didn't know it
[Verse 2]
If you think I don't care
Then you're mistaken
My love was always there
But now my heart's breakin'
[Verse 3]
Oh, baby
Oh, what a crying shame
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh, baby
My life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh, what a crying shame
[Verse 4]
'Cause I believed in you
From the beginning
I thought our love was true
But now it's all ending
[Verse 5]
Oh, baby
Oh, what a crying shame
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh, baby
My life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh, what a crying shame
[Verse 6]
Oh, baby
Oh, what a crying shame
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh, baby
My life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh, what a crying shame
[Verse 7]
Oh, what a crying shame
Oh, what a crying shame
Oh, what a crying shame
Oh, what a crying shame
One, two, three, four
