Lyrics It's a Shame - Bruce Springsteen

Well, I walk the way you want me to
And I've talk the way you want me to
And I've tried to do all I can just to please you
Well, I work hard every day for you
And I brought home all my pay for you
And I've cried my tears through the rain, oh night and again

And, oh girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
We worked so hard but it's all in vain
Oh girl, it's a shame

Well, now I bought your gold and diamond rings
And I brought you home your pretty things
I thought I'd shown all the love I had for you, yes I did
But as hard as I try it all falls through
Well, maybe I was born to be just your fool
Trying to satisfy your every desire, each need you require

Well, oh girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
I worked so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh girl, it's a shame
Someone now!

Oh girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
We worked so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
I worked so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh, girl it's a shame
