[Intro]
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame

[Verse 1]
Wherever you go, I'll go with ya, and
Whatever you smoke, I'll smoke with ya
Whenever you pose, I will take your picture
Even though I just wish I was in it, just have something to remember
We lit our cigarettes with studied thoughtfulness, and
Dreamed of high consciences but really one of the opposite, and
Who unscrewed the bottle and poured booze onto the flame?
Who gives a damn about all the consequence?
I just wanted to know your name

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a shame (It's a shame)
But all in love is fair, and
It's a shame (It's a shame)
It's pain we have to bear
And it's a shame (It's a shame)
When you got no one left to blame and you say
"Don't go," But they're are already there
It's a shame (It's a shame)
It's just a shame (It's a shame, It's a shame)
It's a shame (It's a shame)
It's just a shame (It's a shame, It's a shame)
It's a crying shame
[Verse 2]
Whenever you pay, I'll pay for ya, and I
Wherever you lay, I'll lay on ya, and I
Whatever you say, I will do the octave
Even though you don't care much for harmonies
I just wanted to give you the option
We drink and we womanize, we
Fuck and we fetishize, we
Get clean and testify, we
Relapse and we justify, but
So many to eulogize when no one calls the press
And I guess our love it just crystallizes and some stays in the air

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's a shame (It's a shame)
We just can't get along, and
It's a shame (It's a shame)
When things just turn out wrong
And it's a shame (It's a shame)
When you've got nothing left to say
And so you put it in a song but you only wanted to explain that

[Chorus]
It's a shame (It's a shame)
It's just a shame (It's a shame)
It's a shame (It's a shame)
It's just a shame (It's a shame)
It's a crying shame
It's a shame (It's a shame)
Oh, it's a shame (It's a shame, It's a shame)
It's a shame (It's a shame)
It's a shame (It's a shame)
It's a crying shame
