Song Lyrics

It's a shame when you got me where you want me
But you want me somewhere else
And it's a shame the way you take my love
And baby on and off the shelf

Tell me how many times can I believe you
When you're out with your best friend
When you don't even care if the
Whole town sees you out with another man

[Chorus]
It's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist on another little
Twist of the knife

Your lips I can't resist
Your eyes they hypnotize
With an endless supply of bullets to bite
So every day I can take another little
Twist of the knife

Your lips I can't resist
Your eyes they hypnotize
With an endless supply of bullets to bite
So every day I can take another little
Twist of the knife

Well a man takes an ounce of dignity
And a pound of foolish pride
And he gives it up for a woman like you
To keep her satisfied

[Chorus: x2]

It's a shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
It's a shame
It's a shame, shame, shame, shame , shame
Oh baby don't do me like that

Rick Giles, Chuck Jones, Kim Wilson
