Lyrics

What a Shame

The city I love

The city in the night

Looks like all I ever really need is out there

If it's not love

Then it's in vein

Seems I never really know until I get there

Oh what a shame, you don't really need me anymore

Oh what a shame, you don't really love me anymore

Glad I came

Lord, I could cheer

Drop me feather, can't you tell me that she got one

Sing my song

Play ain't long

We'll sit back and tell the others how we got here

Oh what a shame, you don't really love me anymore

Oh what a shame, you don't really need me anymore

City of love

City of pain

It's so hard to get a feeling you belong here

I saw her face

Looking at her ass

Looks like all I ever really need is right here

Oh what a shame you don't really need me anymore

What a shame you don't really love me anymore

Oh what a shame, you don't really need me anymore

Oh what a shame, you don't really love me anymore

It's such a shame, you don't really need me anymore

What a shame, you don't really love me anymore
