| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| I’m sitting all alone by the telephone |
| Waiting for your call when you don’t call at all |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you play with my emotions |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| You’re like a child at play on a sunny day |
| But you play with love and then you throw it away |
| Bridge: |
| Why do you use me try to confuse me |
| How can you stand to be so cruel |
| Why don’t you free me from this prison |
| Where I serve my time as your fool |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| I try to stay 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 |
| Got to be a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| Ohhh, it’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me |
| It’s a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man |
| You’ve got my heart in chains and I must complain |
| I just can’t be content oh, look at (unintelligible) |
