It's A Crying Shame lyrics

Crying, crying shame, shame

Crying, crying shame

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Etta James]

You said you didn't wanna love nobody else

If you weren't lovin' me, ooh baby

Yeah, don't you know you did me wrong, yeah

You kiss and cheat like you hold up

No tellin' what you might have told them

But we are through

Crying, crying shame, shame

Crying, crying shame

Yeah!

[Harvey Fuqua]

You said you didn't wanna talk to nobody

Unless you wasn't talking to me

But oh, oh, oooh yeah

You talk to everybody you see right now

You smiled and you started winking

And I know just what you were thinking

Now we're through

If you believe in a better world, a destiny

I'm turning back my hands uptied

Baby if our love was meant to be

I will get together for the on down the line

But for now it's a crying shame, crying shame

But for now it's a crying shame, yeah

[Etta James]

Yeaaah!

You said you didn't wanna be smacking on nobody else

If you weren't kissing me but you, you, you, you

You kiss everybody you see

You did it, forget it, admit it, let's quit it

Yeah, yeah, we're through

[Harvey Fuqua]

You lied, you cheated

Now I'm getting so darn god tired of being mistreated

Now we're through

Crying, crying shame, shame

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah

Crying, crying shame

Ooh, yes ma'am right now

Crying, crying shame

Cry, cry, cry, cry...
