Raphael Saadiq - It's a shame

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
But you don't call at all

It's a shame
The way you mess around with your man
It's a shame the way you play with my emotions
It's a shame
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 throw it all 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
Where I serve my time as your fool?

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 try to stay with you
Show you love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we try to make

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
Where I serve my time as your fool?

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
But like a child at play, on a sunny day
But you play with love
And throw it all away

Oh, it's got to be a shame!

The way you treat your man
Got to be a shame
How you make me feel
Got to be a shame
You got my heart in chains
And I must complain
The way you makin' me feel
You make me wanna say it...

You make me feel
Got to be a shame!
How you make me feel
Got to be shame!
You got my heart in chains
And I say I gotta complain, baby
You make me wanna say it again, baby
