Baby it`s been quiet here without you

Since our love split up and parted ways

I just watch the time pass by the hour

And the hazy nights turn into days


Guess you think that I`m some kinda moron

Guess you`ve told your friends that I`m a freak

Guess you`ve told them all about my secrets

Guess you`ve made them think that I`m so weak


It`s a shame about the weather

It`s a shame about the crime

It`s a shame about Elvis

It`s a shame about the times

It`s a shame that the stories

You have heard of me are true

It`s a damn shame but most of all

It`s a shame I`m losing you

Oh it`s a damn shame about you


Baby does it ever make you wonder

How we ever came to get this far

Living in a time warp with a nosebleed

Nothing ever seemed to be too hard


Baby are you happy where you are now

Let me know `cos I have no idea

You should know I love you `til it kills me

But you`re better off without old me It`s a shame about the weather

It`s a shame about the crime

It`s a shame about Elvis

It`s a shame about the times

It`s a shame that the stories

You have heard of me are true

It`s a damn shame but most of all

It`s a shame I`m losing you

Oh it`s a damn shame about you It`s such a damn old shame

And here we go again

It`s such a damn old shame

We got ourselves to blame

Hauling ourselves through pain

We got it going again

It`s such a damn old shame It`s a shame about the weather

It`s a shame about the crime

It`s a shame about Elvis

It`s a shame about the times

It`s a shame that the stories

You have heard of me are true

It`s a damn shame but most of all

It`s a shame I`m losing you

Oh it`s a damn shame about you
