Because you couldn't say your girlfriend's name

 For sure
 I'll say it next time for sure

 She has got the saddest handle that I know
 No one even holds a candle, who would blow
 Out her flame, I'm overcome with shame

 Shame, shame
 Because you didn't read all of Dames, Dames

 You knew
 You knew the damage it would do

 She is just the brightest candle that I know
 I hope her owner has a handle on her, though

 But keep your head up
 Can't accept your hand, no
 I would love to, I would love to
 But I am overcome with shame

 Shame, shame
 Because you didn't say your girlfriend's name

 You knew
 You knew that problems would ensue

 I wrote your name for all to see
 I wrote your name for all to see
 I wrote your name for all to see

 I would love you
 I would love you

 But I am overcome with shame
 I never read all of Dames, Dames
 I can't identify the change
 But something isn't quite the same
 But then I couldn't say your name
