Had a girl in my hometown
Sorry now that I put her down
Could've lived so happily
Well, shame on me

Why oh why did I go away?
Sorry now that I didn't stay
I still think how it used to be
Well, shame on me

What a fool I must have been
Then again I was so young
Tell me how could I have known
How it feels to get stung?

Going back to my hometown
Find the girl that I put down
I'm going to ask her to marry me
But if I'm late
Oh, shame on me

What a fool I must have been
Then again I was so young
Tell me how could I have known
How it feels to get stung?
Going back to my hometown
Find the girl that I put down
Going to ask her to marry me
But if I'm late
Oh, shame on me

Shame on me
Shame on me
Shame on me
