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

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

[REPEAT FIRST TWO LINES OF INTRO (TWO GUITARS W/DRUMS)]

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

YOU'VE GOT MY HEART IN CHAINS AND I MUST COMPLAIN
I JUST CAN'T BE CONTENT OH, LOOK AT (UNINTELLIGIBLE)
