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

(1) I'm sitting all alone by the telephone (2) You're like a child at play on a sunny day

(1) Waiting for your call when you don't call at all (2) But you play with love and then you throw it away

Bridge: 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, to show you love so true

But you won't appreciate the love we try to make
