Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's an evil wind that blows no good air
It's a sad heart that won't love like I know it should
Oh how lonesome you must be, baby
It's a shame you don't share your love with me
[Verse 2]
It's a heartache, yeah, when love is gone
But it's bad and even sad, oh, later on
And there's no one blinder when you won't see
It's a shame if you won't share some of your love with me
[Verse 3]
I can't help it, oh no, if he's gone
I must try to forget, because I've got to live on
Oh hey, it's a good thing, it's a sweet thing to love someone
But it's bad and even sad, ah, when it's not returned
[Verse 4]
And oh how lonesome, how lonesome
How lonesome, baby, you must be, oh yeah
I tell you, it would be a shame, a shame if you don't share your love with me
It would really be a mistake, baby, if you don't share your love with me
It would sure be a shame if you don't share, share your love with me
