What A Damn Shame

I went to the closet to see what I had
Pulled the one suit that I own from the rack
If I could tell the future, I'd just put it back
What a damn shame (damn shame)

Mama always said, "I should dress to impress"
So I press my slacks and I hope for the best
If I could tell the future, I woulda tried less
What a damn shame (damn shame)

I heard Sinatra wouldn't be caught dead without a suit
Well, I know I'm not him
My hair's more curly and my eyes a little less blue

What a damn shame
What a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night

The waiter sat me down at a table for two
Asked me, "What I'm having" said, "I'm waiting for you"
By the look in his eyes, I think he already knew
It's a damn shame (damn shame)

After 'bout an hour, he poured me a drink
Said, "This is on the house" I said, "It's not what you think"
I bet he could tell my heart was starting to sink
It's a damn shame (damn shame)

I heard Sinatra wouldn't be caught dead without a suit
I know I'm not him 'cause he wouldn't be sitting here
Getting stood up by you

What a damn shame
What a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night

I guess I'll take the roses that I bought for you
Put 'em in some water in the living room
'Cause why should they have to suffer too?
Such a damn shame

What a damn shame
What a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night (damn shame)

What a damn shame
What a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night (damn shame)

What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night
