She never cared too much
'Bout the pretty things of the world
She never care 'bout rings
Or neck that was strung with pearls

Her momma didn't cry
Her daddy didn't lie
But every day he had an alibi
She shaped dreams in the sky just to watch them die
It was a crying shame

She never played with fire
But still her pretty hand got burned
She gave love to the world
but never could make it turn

Her daddy didn't lie
Her momma couldn't cry
Every day she had an alibi
But she never had no love for herself
You know it was a crying shame

Shame, shame shame, shame
Oooh such a crying shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame

Ooo got tired of the words some people would say
Got tired of playing their childish games
You know its kinda crazy how some people never change

Such a crying shame!
Shame, shame shame, shame
Oooh such a crying shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame
