It's A Shame
(S. Wonder/S. Wright/L. Garrett)
As performed by the Spinners


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 sit here all alone by the telephone
Waiting for your call when 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 take my love and then you throw it away

Why do you use me
Try to confuse me
How could you stand to be so cruel
Why won't you free me from this prison
While 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 tried to stay with you
Share a love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we try to make

Oh it's-a got ta be a shame, uh...

Why do you use me
Try to confuse me
How could you stand to be so cruel
Why won't you free me from this prison
While I serve my time as your fool

Got ta be a shame the way you mess around with your man
Oh it's a shame the way you hurt me
Oh it's a shame, baby baby, the way you mess around with your man

You got my heart in chains
And I must complain
I just can't be content
Oh look at... (muttering) ah, haaa, ah!
It's a shame, it's a shame the way you hurt me, yeah
AOW!
Got ta, got ta, got ta, got ta be a shame, oh yeah...

Here's a track from GC Cameron, who was the lead singer on "It's A Shame". He did the Jermaine before Jermaine, lol, in that GC didn't follow the Spinners to Atlantic Records and stayed behind on Motown.
