It's A Shame
Little tone way before despair by Mister Stevie Wonder, ah
He simply said, "Baby girl, I'm out there working hard for you"
But doggone it if you ain't tryna find something else to do, ah
He said, "The doggone shame, how you mess with those men"
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
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
I'm sitting all alone, by the telephone
Waiting for your call (doo, doo, doo, doo), you didn't call at all
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
You're like a child at play, on a sunny day
Won't you play with love (doo, doo, doo, doo) and then you throw it away
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? (Ah-ah-ah)
Where I serve my time as your fool
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 stay with you, show you love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we try to make
Oh, oh-oh, it's got to be a shame
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? (Ah-ah-ah)
Where I serve my time as your fool
Got to be a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man
Oh, it's a shame (shame) the way you hurt me
It's a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man
You've got my heart in chains and I must complain
And I just can't be confined, oh, look at, look at the time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So don't know shame the way you hurt me, yeah
Ah-yeah, whoo, hey!
He simply said, "Baby girl, I'm out there working hard for you"
But doggone it if you ain't tryna find something else to do, ah
He said, "The doggone shame, how you mess with those men"
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
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
I'm sitting all alone, by the telephone
Waiting for your call (doo, doo, doo, doo), you didn't call at all
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
You're like a child at play, on a sunny day
Won't you play with love (doo, doo, doo, doo) and then you throw it away
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? (Ah-ah-ah)
Where I serve my time as your fool
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 stay with you, show you love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we try to make
Oh, oh-oh, it's got to be a shame

It's a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man
You've got my heart in chains and I must complain
And I just can't be confined, oh, look at, look at the time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So don't know shame the way you hurt me, yeah
Ah-yeah, whoo, hey!
