It's a shame It's a shame It's a shame It's a shame Wherever you go I'll go with you, and Whatever you smoke I'll smoke with you And whenever you pose I will take your picture Even though I just wish I was in it And just had something to remember We lit our cigarettes with studied thoughtfulness And dreamed of higher consciousness But really wanted 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 It's a shame (It's a shame) But all in love is fair And it's a shame (It's a shame) This 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 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 crying shame But whatever you pay I'll pay for you, and Wherever you lay I'll lay on you, and Whatever you sang 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 there's so many to eulogize When no one recalls the prayer And I guess some love it just crystalizes While some stays in the air And it's 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 got nothing left to say So you put it in a song But you only wanted to explain that 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 crying 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 shame (It's a shame) It's just a shame (It's a shame) It's a crying shame
