What a Crying Shame

The Mavericks What a Crying Shame Lyrics
1.There Goes My Heart

Lyricist:Kostas, Raul Malo

There goes my heart breaking in two
There goes my eyes crying over you
My arms don't want for us to part
So when you go here comes the blues
There goes my heart

You told me once we'd never part
And you loved me with all your heart
But now these words of love you're going to erase
You've found somebody new who wants to take my place

There goes my heart breaking in two
There goes my eyes crying over you
My arms don't want for us to part
So when you go here comes the blues
There goes my heart

I'm standing on a bridge that's burned
It's just a lonely lesson learned
To see you walk away with him hurts me so
This fool who loves you doesn't want to let you go

There goes my heart breaking in two
There goes my eyes crying over you
My arms don't want for us to part
So when you go here comes the blues
There goes my heart

So when you go here come the blues
There goes my heart
So when you go here come the blues
There goes my heart


2.What a Crying Shame

Lyricist:Kostas, Raul Malo

Wasn't I good to you
Didn't I show it
And if I ever hurt you
I didn't know it

And if you think I don't care
Then you're mistaken
My love was always there
But now my heart's breakin'

Oh, baby oh, what a cryin' 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 cryin' shame

'Cause I believed in you
From the beginnin'
I thought our love was true
But now it's all endin'

Oh, baby oh, what a cryin' 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 cryin' shame

Oh, baby oh, what a cryin' 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 cryin' shame

Oh, what a cryin' shame
Oh, what a cryin' shame
Oh, what a cryin' shame
Oh, what a cryin' shame
Oh, what a cryin' shame


3.Pretend

Lyricist:Kostas Lazarides, Raul Malo

Pretend you're still in love with me
And things are what they used to be
Just one last time before you go
Pretend that you still love me so

Pretend I'm still the only one
And all our dreams have just begun
I know our love's come to an end
So one more time let's just pretend

Maybe there's a chance that you could change your mind
If you just pretend you love me one more time
I don't want to be a memory or a friend
Darlin', you don't have to love me, just pretend

Ohh oww

Maybe there's a chance that you could change your mind
If you just pretend you love me one more time
I don't want to be a memory or a friend
Darlin', you don't have to love me, just pretend

I don't want to be a memory or a friend
Darlin', you don't have to love me just pretend
Darlin', you don't have to love me just pretend


4.I Should Have Been True

Lyricist:Stan Lynch, Raul Malo

You held my hand
I was your man
I know that I was wrong to lie

If I could go back in time
Back when you were mine
I could hold you tight
And be with you

I should have been true
I should have been blue
I shouldn't wonder why you're gone
I should have known that I was wrong

Your eyes, your lips
Your touch I'll miss
The nights so long
Since you've been gone

If I could go back in time
Back when you were mine
I could hold you tight
And be with you

I should have been true
I should have been blue
I shouldn't wonder why you're gone
I should have known that I was wrong

If I could go back in time
Back when you were mine
I could hold you tight
And be with you

I should have been true
I should have been blue
I shouldn't wonder why you're gone
I should have known that I was wrong

I should have been true
I should have been blue
I shouldn't wonder why you're gone
I should have known that I was wrong


5.Just A Memory

Lyricist:Kostas, Raul Malo

Memory, can't you see
That's not what I should be
After all she meant to me
I'm just a memory

Hand in hand we used to walk
Heart to heart we used to talk
Now she's gone and it will be
I'm just a memory

Memory, can't you see
That's not what I should be
After all she meant to me
I'm just a memory

Yesterday, when she was mine
There have been no better times
And every night I think of when
She'll come back again

Memory, can't you see
That's not what I should be
After all she meant to me
I'm just a memory

After all she meant to me
I'm just a memory


6.The Things You Said To Me

Lyricist:Al Anderson, Raul Malo

You said you'd always be true
As long as I were to you
If I should start runnin' around
The string I wrapped around your heart would then become unwound

I kept my promise till the end
But you broke my heart once again
Guess I was just too blind to see
What a fool I was to listen to the things you said to me

But I'm lonely
I can't help it I'm lonely
No matter how hard
I try to forget
I've got a heartache
And I know it's too late
I've been deceived
'Cause darlin' I believed
The things you said to me
Aah!

On someday you just may be the one
Who's gonna wonder what went wrong?
When you're all alone just think of me
When no one else will listen to the things you said to me

But I'm lonely
I can't help it I'm lonely
No matter how hard
I try to forget
I've got a heartache
And I know it's too late
I've been deceived
'Cause darlin' I believed
The things you said to me

The things you said to me
The things you said to me
The things you said to me
...


7.All That Heaven Will Allow

I got a dollar in my pocket
There ain't a cloud up above
I got a picture in a locket
That says baby I love you
Well if you didn't look then boys
Then fellas don't go lookin' now
Well here she comes a-walkin'
All that heaven will allow

Say hey there mister bouncer
Now all I wanna do is dance
But I swear I left my wallet
Back home in my workin' pants
C'mon Slim slip me in man
I'll make it up to you somehow
I can't be late I got a date
With all that heaven will allow

Rain and storm and dark skies
Well now they don't mean a thing
If you got a girl that loves you
And who wants to wear your ring
So c'mon mister trouble
We'll make it through you somehow
We'll fill this house with all the love
All that heaven will allow

Rain and storm and dark skies
Well now they don't mean a thing
If you got a girl that loves you
And who wants to wear your ring
So c'mon mister trouble
We'll make it through you somehow
We'll fill this house with all the love
All that heaven will allow

Now some may wanna die young man
Young and gloriously
Get it straight now mister
Hey buddy that ain't me
'Cause I got something on my mind
That sets me straight and walkin' proud
And I want all the time
All that heaven will allow
And I want all the time
All that heaven will allow


8.Neon Blue

Lyricist:Pete Anderson, Kostas

And when the sun goes down
Your memory's still hangin' 'round
Inside this honky tonk
Where I think of you
The flashing light's shine bright
And sparkle in the night
And my heart turns a neon blue

I see your emerald eyes
Your ruby lips on mine
Remembering all of the love
That we once knew
Red dress hangs on the door
Black high heels on the floor
And my heart turns a neon blue

What a cold, cold sensation
From night into day
Temptation, temptation
Has taken you away
I see your emerald eyes
Your ruby lips on mine
And my heart turns a neon blue

What a cold, cold sensation
From night into day, aye, aye
Temptation, temptation
Has taken you away
And when the sun goes down
Your memory still hangin' 'round
Leaving my heart a neon blue
Turning my heart a neon blue


9.O What a Thrill

Lyricist:Jesse Winchester

Oh girl, any moment I may kiss your lips
Oh, it's been a while since I felt like this
Oh girl, please don't refuse me
Oh, I'm so scared you will

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
Oh, what a thrill

Woman, words fail me, your skin is sweet and warm
I want to console you and hold you in my arms
Oh, once you, you were my baby
Oh, you're my, my baby still

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
Oh, what a thrill

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a thrill


10.Ain't Found Nobody

Lyricist:Harlan Howard, Kostas

I loved you then, I love you still
I miss you Darling, I always will
Resigned myself to feelin' blue
Ain't found nobody since I lost you

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I gave all my heart to lovin' you
As shadows fall
I'm falling too
Ain't found nobody since I lost you

Friends come and go but they won't do
Don't really want somebody new
You never know what I go through
Ain't found nobody since I lost you

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I gave all my heart to loving you
As shadows fall
I'm falling too
Ain't found nobody since I lost you
Ain't found nobody since I lost you


11.The Losing Side of Me

Lyricist:Raul Malo

Well I wonder if you knew where I had been
I was trying to play a game that I could win
But I'm lower than a beggar on his knees
And you'll never see the losing side of me

Well I'd ask my friends about you now and then
They told me that you would be back again
But I'm thinking about what wasn't going to be
And you'll never see the losing side of me

The losing side of me just won't be found
'Cause I know that you've been seen running 'round
But I'm crying like the birds up in the tree
And you'll never see the losing side of me

Well I wonder if you knew where I had been
I was trying to play a game that I could win
But I'm lower than a beggar on his knees
And you'll never see the losing side of me

The losing side of me just won't be found
'Cause I know that you've been seen running 'round
But I'm crying like the birds up in the tree
And you'll never see the losing side of me

The losing side of me just won't be found
'Cause I know that you've been seen running 'round
But I'm crying like the birds up in the tree
And you'll never see the losing side of me

No you'll never see the losing side of me
No you'll never see the losing side of me
