Shame
Pretty little baby,
how come you never come around?
Pretty little baby,
How come you never come around?
I send you all them pretty flowers,
Now you're nowhere to be found.
'call you up at midnight sometimes, I must admit,
when I find you're not at home.
My head heats up like a furnace,
My heart grows colder than a stone.
So what's the good of all this money I got, girl?
If every night, I'm left here all alone?
It's a gun that I need.

Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
I ain't ashamed of nothing
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
I don't know what you talking about

All right, let's talk a little business.
You know what I'm saying?
A man of my experience of life,
don't expect a beautiful young woman like yourself
to come on over here everyday.
Have some old dude banging on her
like a gypsy on a tambourine.
That's not what I'm talking about. (3x)
But I will say this.
I've been all over the world.
I've seen some wonderful things.
I haven't been well lately,
I have no one to share my plans,
my dreams, my hopes, my schemes, my...

Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
'could be right
I've sunk pretty low this time
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
These are truly desperate times

Saw your little sandals, baby,
out behind the wishing well.
Down here in the cool depths of the Quarter,
where the rich folk dwell.
They picture you in diamonds,
satins and pearls.
Come on back to Daddy!
Daddy miss his baby girl.
Now, my father, he was an angry man.
You cross him; he made you pay.
I, myself, am no longer an angry man.
Don't make me beg you, ...don't make me beg.

You know what it feels like,
wake up in the morning?
Have every joint in your body aching, goddamit.
You know what it feels like,
have to get up in the middle of the night?
Sit down, to take a piss?
You do know? So you say.
I have my doubts missy.
Do you know what it feels like,
to have to beg a little bum like you for love?
Goddamn you, you little bitch!
I'd kill you, if I didn't love you so much!

Shame, shame, shame, shame...
SHUT UP!
Oh, forgive me.
...my unfocused words.
I was flying blind, I, I lost my mind.
If ya find it in your heart, if you got one,
to forgive me. Be ever so grateful.
Shame, shame, shame.
Would you stop that please?
Shame, shame, shame.
Would you stop that please?
I'm trying to talk to someone.
Shame.
Thank you.

You know, I have a Lexus now
I don't get out much
You know what I'm saying
Come on home
