Lyrics

Shame On You

I would go to hell in a hat
If you asked me to, my love
It might be a good thing at that for me

I would catch the breeze
From my trees
And the stars from up above
I'd go round the world on my knees for you

Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do for you
Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do

I would fight a great white with my hands
Just to see your pretty face
Ask me and I might serenade for you

I would cross the seas for a smile
And the warmth of your embrace
I'd only be to pleased to die for you

Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do for you
Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do

Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do for you
Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do

Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do for you
Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do

Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do for you
Shame on you, shame on you
Oh what does a boy have to do
