It's A Shame

Bruce Springsteen · The Promise [2010]

Well I walk the way you want me to

And I'll 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 night and again



And oh whoa girl, it's a shame

Oh whoa girl, it's a doggone shame

We worked so hard, but it's all in vain

Oh whoa girl, it's a shame



Now I bought your gold and diamond rings

And I brought you home your pretty things

And 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 whoa girl, it's a shame

Oh whoa girl, it's a doggone shame

I worked so hard, but it's all in vain

Oh whoa girl, it's a shame



Someone now!

Whoa!

Whoaaa, whoa-hoo

Whoa



Oh whoa girl, it's a shame

Oh girl, it's a doggone shame

We worked so hard, but it's all in vain

Oh whoa girl, it's a shame

Oh whoa girl, it's a shame

Oh girl, it's a doggone shame

I worked so hard, but it's all in vain

Oh whoa, girl it's a shame
