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
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
But you play with love
and then you
throw it away
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
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
oh it's got to be a shame
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
Got to be a shame
the way you mess
around with your man
oh it's a shame
the way you hurt me
Oh 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 look my ooh my
It's a shame
the way you hurt me
yeah
