Well, it's an ill wind that blows no good And it's a sad one that won't love like I know it should And oh, how lonesome you must be And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me It's a heartache when love is gone But it's bad, even sad, later on Oh, there's no one blinder than he who won't see And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me Well, I can't help it when she is gone You must try to forget, oh, you must live on And I know it's a good thing to love someone But it's bad, even sad, when it's not returned And oh, how lonesome you must be And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me And it's a shame if you don't share your love with me
