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 about the stories

You have heard of me are true

It's damn shame but most of all

It's a shame I'm losing you

It's a damn shame about you beautiful

It's such a damn old shame, yeah



Baby it's been lonely 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 about the stories

You have heard of me are true

It's damn shame but most of all

It's a shame I'm losing you

It's a damn shame about you beautiful

It's such a damn old shame, yeah



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 about the stories

You have heard of me are true

It's damn shame but most of all

It's a shame I'm losing you

It's a damn shame about you beautiful-a
