Intro Ain't no line, ain't no lyin' to love Ain't no crime, Lord there ain't no cryin' to love, yeah to love Well you say your sick and tired of being lonely And you say you've had enough of sympathy And you find there's no one there to share your midnights Well that just ain't the way it ought to be, And it ain't no shame Ain't no shame to be loved, And you better believe it 'cause when you're there, There's nothing else you'd ever want to do Ain't no shame to be loved, can't you hear me Look inside your heart'll tell you true All my love belongs to you To walk the path, the path of life alone - so alone A single light in an empty sky - so alone When it seems there's no one there to lend a shoulder And your nights are cold and filled with misery Well it's time you took a look a little closer 'Cause that's just ain't the way it is with me, And it ain't no shame Bridge x2 Well you say you're sick and tired of being lonely And your nights are cold and filled with misery Well it's time you took a look a little closer - a little closer N.C. 'Cause that's just ain't the way it ought to be, No - ain't no shame
