[CHORUS]

I'm no stranger to shame

I've got little to blame

You sent for me and so I came

I'll come runnin' when you call my name

Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame

I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame



I might stagger and I might sway

I might stutter just a bit but that's ok

I'm not walkin' too good that's true

I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me though

I might appear to be a pile of rags

But I'm a stack of hundreds in a paper bag

I've been around this world and back

I made a million bucks and put it all on black



So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away

It's not the first time, not the last

You can leave me where I lay, because

So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away

It's not the first time, not the last

You can leave me where I lay, because



[REPEAT CHORUS]



I've been known to wake up in some dirty places

The sun only shines on deserving faces

The mind erases, forgets the stars

See each and every city has corner bar

That's where I am in a world so grim

The lights are as bright as the day is dim

See I'm priceless in a class of my own

I used to stay out late but now I don't go home



So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away

It's not the first time, not the last

You can leave me where I lay, because



How do you feel when the birds are chirpin'

When your in bed and everybody is workin'

Are you down with the non believers

Make the slackers look like over achievers

The dogs scratchin' on the door again

The cat's out but he don't wanna come in

You got a bed and you got a floor

But the couch is closer to your front door



So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away

It's not the first time, not the last

You can leave me where I lay, because



[REPEAT CHORUS]
