[Chorus:] Ain't it a shame to be falling in love So late in the game, too late to catch So I, I get strong My heart can't stand to be alone I guess I go, I guess I go Where the downhearted go [Verse 1:] I had a girl, she was so good to me But I was a fool I asked her to leave So I, I could be strong But she's got a new boy at home I guess I go, oh I just go Where the downhearted go [alright, yes I will] For the rest of my life I've been selfish inside She's the only one Could make me swallow my pride But I, now I can see But one of these days She gon' belong back to me [yeah] Oh, baby [Chorus:] Ain't it a shame, when you're falling in love You think you know pain But it never lets up So I, I get strong My heart can't stand to be alone I guess I go, oh I get Where the downhearted go [Oh lord, I go] Where the downhearted go Don't let me go
