It's A Shame
(S. Wonder/S. Wright/L. Garrett)
As performed by the Spinners
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 sit here 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 take my love and then you throw it away
Why do you use me
Try to confuse me
How could you stand to be so cruel
Why won't you free me from this prison
While 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 tried to stay with you
Share a love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we try to make
Oh it's-a got ta be a shame, uh...
Why do you use me
Try to confuse me
How could you stand to be so cruel
Why won't you free me from this prison
While I serve my time as your fool
Got ta 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 got my heart in chains
And I must complain
I just can't be content
Oh look at... (muttering) ah, haaa, ah!
It's a shame, it's a shame the way you hurt me, yeah
AOW!
Got ta, got ta, got ta, got ta be a shame, oh yeah...
