Show Me A Little Shame

Ben Harper · Burn to Shine [1999]

You, you've been lookin' at me

Just a little too long

Now I can never look the same

Blindness and kindness

There's no difference in the two

When I can no longer see the good in you



So won't you show me a little shame

Won't you show me a little shame



Now cause I'm, I'm a gentle man

Lookin' for a gentle woman

So-called ladies

They keep breaking my heart

Show me a house

Show me a home

Show me how it could all fall apart



Now won't you show me a little shame

Won't you show me a little shame

Won't you show me a little shame



Cause now I wake up in the mornin'

More tired than before I slept

I get through cryin'

And I'm sadder than before I wept

I get through thinking, now,

And the thoughts have left my head

I get through speaking

And I can't remember not a word that I said



You change your mind

So many times

I wonder if you have a

A mind at all

And I rather be

By myself

Than to have your lonseome company

Come to call



Now won't you show me a little shame

Won't you show me a little shame

Won't you show me a little shame

Won't you show me a little shame
