It’s A Shame
[Intro]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

[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
You're like a child at play on a sunny day
But you play with love that you throw it away

[Verse 2]
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
I try to stay with you
Give you love so true
You don't appreciate the love I try to make

[Bridge]
It's a (Shame, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Shame, ooh, ooh, ooh
Shame, ooh, ooh, ooh
Shame, ooh, ooh, ooh
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

[Verse 3]
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 try to give you love, give you love
I try to stay with you, give you love so true
You don't appreciate the love I try to make
[Outro]
It's a shame (Shame)
Got to be a shame the way that you hurt me, baby
Oh (Shame), it got to be a shame the way you hurt me, ooh yes
Oh (Shame), the way you mess around with your man
