It's a Crying Shame

Etta James · At Last!: Reissue [1999]

Cry, cry in shame, shame

Cry, cry in shame



You said you didn't wanna love nobody else

If you weren't loving me, oh baby

Yeah, don't you know you did me wrong, yeah

You kiss and you cheat like you hold them

No telling what you might have them will approve



Cry, cry in shame, shame

Cry, cry in shame, yeah



You said you didn't wanna talk to nobody

Unless you was talking to me oh, oh, oh

You talking about what you see right now

You smiled and you started winking

And I know just what you were thinking now you do



If you believe in a better world

I guess to me I'm turning back my hands uptied

Baby, if our love was meant to be

We'll get together for the on down the line

But for now it's a crying shame, shame

But for now it's a crying shame, yeah



You said you didn't wanna be smacking on nobody else

If you weren't kissing me

But you, you, you, you, you kiss everybody it seems

You did it, forget it, admit it, let's quit it, yeah, yeah with who?



You lied, you cheated now I'm getting so doggone tired

Of being mistreated now with who?



Cry, cry in shame, yeah

Cry, cry in shame, oh yes now right now

Cry, cry in shame, cry, cry, cry, cry

Cry, cry in shame
