Love Gone Wrong

In the last two weeks I have bumped into Dennis Nanton a few times. Dennis was in a band with me back at the beginning of the 1980's. It reminded me of this song I wrote back then so I am posting a title video of the song.
Dennis Nanton, John Mosko and Dave Gresh were all in "The Mood" with me.


Lyrics:


Love Gone Wrong
by Matt Telliho circa 1980

I was born, into a cold cruel world
Got no job, ain’t got no car, ain’t got no girl
I went wrong, when all those others, they went right
Misery, it clings to me both day and night

It was a girl so sweet, who brought this all on me
It was a love you see, that could never be

There was a girl, who took from me, all that she could
I was blind, I did not see she was no good
When we met, I was so happy I could fly
When she left, I was so sad, I thought I’d die

It was a girl so sweet, who brought this all on me
It was a love you see, that could never be

Oh, got to give it up, oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Got to give it up, oh yeah, oh -oooooh

Yeah, ease it up brother, I got a mortgage on the car
I gotta drinking in the bar

How y’all doing?
Where did I go wrong? I tell you, I got a, I got a love gone wrong
Yeah, in my life, just a love gone wrong, in my life
I said, I got a love gone wrong, why me, in my life , should it go?
Love gone wrong, Whoa-oa!

So beware, if Cupid draws his bow toward you
Think of me, and how my life was led to ruin
Thank the Lord, if all you get’s a broken heart
Because with me, love caused my life to fall apart

It was a girl so sweet, who brought this all on me
It was a love you see, that could never be
It was a girl so sweet, who brought this all on me
It was a love you see, that could never be
It was a girl so sweet, who brought this all on me
It was a love you see, that could nev, never be

It’s just a love gone wrong, in my life
It’s just a love gone wrong, in my life
It’s just a love gone wrong, mortgage rates
It’s just a love gone wrong………..
