Isn't it a Shame


Shame, shame, shame 
Shame, shame, shame 

Isn't it a shame that the only walkin' we do 
Is you walkin' all over me 
And isn't it a shame that the only talkin' we do 
Is me talkin' in my sleep 
And isn't it a shame that the only holdin' we do 
Is you holdin' out on me 

Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 
Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 

Isn't it a shame that the only laughin' we do 
Is you laughin' in my face 
And isn't it a shame that the only lovin' we know 
Is how you love to put me in my place 
And isn't it a shame that the only kissin' we do 
Is kissin' it all goodbye 

Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 
Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 
Isn't it a shame 

(It's a shame) There's a service you can render 
(It's a shame) A little thing you've been overlookin' 
(It's a shame) When I say I want it warm and tender 
I'm not talkin' about the steak you're cookin' 

And isn't it a shame that the only kissin' we do 
Is kissin' it all goodbye 

Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 
Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 
Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 

Isn't it a shame that the only feelin' would be 
Is feelin' that I'm gonna be sick 
Isn't it a shame that the only wantin' I do 
Is wantin' to get out of here quick 
Isn't it a shame that the only gettin' closer we do 
Is gettin' closer to the end 
Isn't it a shame, shame, shame 
Isn't it a shame, shame, shame
