When I call you it’s a shame, if you don’t hear
Though when I want you to be near, you don’t run
How can we be so close, yet so far apart
It’s a shame, it’s a shame

If I don’t call you it’s a shame, would you care
'Cause when you really need a friend, I’ll be there
If you don’t know that you can count on me
It’s a shame, It’s a shame

When I see you all alone
Makes me think about what went wrong?

If you don’t call me it’s a shame, I’m around
Don’t be afraid, just lean on me when you’re down
Sometimes in life, yeah, things go wrong, so wrong
It’s a shame, it’s a shame

If you can’t hear me it’s a shame, I can’t win
'Cause I can’t help you if you don’t let me in
If you don’t know by now that you’re not alone
It’s a shame, it’s a shame

It’s a shame, it’s a shame, lean on me
It’s a shame, it’s a shame
It’s a shame, it’s a shame, I’ll be around
It’s a shame, it’s a shame
