Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a shame
The way you mess around with your man
It's a shame the way you hurt me
It's a shame
The way you mess around with your man
I'm sitting all alone, by the telephone
Waiting for your call, when you don't call at all
[Verse 2]
It's a shame
The way you mess around with your man
It's a shame the way you play with my emotions
It's a shame
The way you mess around with your man
You're like a child at play, on a sunny day
'Cause you play with love, and then you throw it away
[Verse 3]
Why do you use me? Try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don't you free me from this prison?
Where I serve my time as your fool
[Verse 4]
It's a shame
The way you mess around with your man
It's a shame the way you hurt me
It's a shame
The way you mess around with your man
I try to stay with you, show you love so true
But you won't appreciate, the love we try to make
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's got to be a shame, ah
[Verse 6]
Why do you use me? Try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don't you free me from this prison
Where I serve my time as your fool?
[Verse 7]
Got to be a shame
The way you mess around with your man
Ohh, it's a shame the way you hurt me
Ohh, it's a shame baby, baby
The way you mess around with your man
You've got my heart in chains, and I must complain
I just can't be confined, oh, looking back in time
[Verse 8]
Ohh ooh oh
It's a shame
It's a shame the way you hurt me, yeah
Aww gotta
Gotta
Gotta
Gotta be a shame, ohh yeah
