| [VERSE 1] |
| Shame on me, I was a fool |
| To think she's never leave |
| Shame on me, I played it cool |
| trying hard not to believe |
| That there'd ever come a time |
| When I'd pay for all my crime |
| All my runnin' roun' and lyin' |
| Baby, shame on me |
| [CHORUS] |
| Well, shame on me, that's all there is to say |
| I had all a man could want and let it slip away |
| My mama woulda said, boy you shoulda used your head |
| Did you think she wouldn't see |
| there ain't nothing I can do, ain't nothing I can say but |
| Shame on me |
| [VERSE 2] |
| Shame on me, I was wrong |
| To treat her like I did |
| Shame on me, it'll be a long |
| Time before I can get rid |
| Of this low down feeling |
| Got my heart and soul reeling |
| Finally got what I'd been dealing |
| Baby, shame on me |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
| [BRIDGE] |
| Well, mama always said, son, don't take good love for granted |
| What goes around comes around, but I didn't understand it... |
| [VERSE 3] |
| Shame on me, I never dreamed |
| That pain could hurt so bad |
| Shame on me, I guess it seemed |
| I'd never lose the girl I had |
| That's what I get for guessin' |
| I forgot to count my blessin' |
| Maybe now I've learned my lesson |
| Baby, shame on me |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
