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
Waitin' for your call
When you don't call at all

It's a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It's a shame (Shame)
The way you play with my emotions
It's a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man

You're like a child at play
On a sunny day
First you play with love
And then you throw it away

Why do you use me
Play to confuse me
How can you stand
To be so cruel

Why don't you free me
From this prison
For I served my time
As your fool

It's a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It's a shame (Shame)
The way you hurt me
It's a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man

I tried to stick with you
Show you love so true
But you won't appreciate
The love we try to make

Oh, it's a, got to be a shame, uh

Why do you use me
Play to confuse me
How can you stand
To be so cruel

Why don't you free me
From this prison
Served my time
As your fool

Got to be a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
Oh, it's a shame (Shame)
The way you hurt me
Oh, it's a shame, baby, baby (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man

You got my heart in chains
And I must complain
I just can't think of cryin'
Oh, lookin' at the time

Oh...ho...ho... (Shame)
It's a shame, it's a shame (Shame)
The way you hurt me, yeah
Ooh... (Shame)
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta be a shame, oh, yeah

Ooh...
