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
