[Intro]
What a shame
[Verse 1]
I came home last night
Caught an early flight
I found you on the floor
The look of sheer disgrace
Was written on your face
Lipstick was on the wall
[Chorus]
Do you spend the days (Do you spend your days?)
While I'm awake, on the run? (On the run, running around)
Do you walk the street looking for someone to meet
When I'm gone? (When I'm gone)
When I'm gone (Oh, Lord my baby)
[Refrain]
What a shame
[Verse 2]
I was seen with you
In a corner booth
At some secret hideaway (Way out)
When in reality (Ooh-ooh)
It really wasn't me
Now what have you got to say?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what you've been doing
Is this anyway to carry on?
Well, I see you must
Be taking advantaged of
Your freedom when I'm gone
[Chorus]
Do you spend the days? (Do you spend your days?)
While I'm awake, on the run (On the run, running around)
Do you walk the street looking for someone to meet (Do you walk the street?)
When I'm gone? (When I'm gone)
When I'm gone (Oh-oh)
Ooh, woo, woo, woo-woo
[Refrain]
What a shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what you've been doing (What you've been doing)
Is this anyway to carry on? (Anyway, to carry on)
Well, I see you must
Be taking advantage of
Your freedom when I'm gone
[Chorus]
Do you spend the days? (Do you spend your days?)
While I'm awake, on the run (On the run, running around)
Do you walk the street looking for someone to meet (Do you walk the street?)
When I'm gone? (When I'm gone)
When I'm gone (Oh-oh)
Do you spend the days? (Do you spend your days?)
While I'm awake, on the run (On the run, do you run around?, running around, oh)
Do you walk the street looking for someone to meet
When I'm gone? (When I'm gone)
When I'm gone (Oh-oh, oh)
Ooh, woo, woo, woo-woo
[Refrain]
What a shame
[Outro]
Shame on you
What a shame
Shame on you
And on me too
