About It's A Shame

It's A Shame is a soul song performed by The Spinners, released on June 11, 1970. The track represents a unique collaboration between Motown legends, as it was co-written by Stevie Wonder, his then-wife Syreeta Wright, and Lee Garrett, with Wonder taking the helm as producer. This song was particularly significant as it marked The Spinners' commercial breakthrough at Motown Records, where they had been signed since 1964 but had achieved only modest success previously. .

It's A Shame Lyrics

[00:23.23] It's a shame, the way you mess around with your man
[00:27.95] It's a shame, the way you hurt me
[00:32.91] It's a shame, the way you mess around with your man
[00:37.71] I'm sitting all alone by the telephone
[00:42.94] Waiting for your call when you don't call at all
[00:47.60] It's a shame (shame), the way you mess around with your man
[00:52.24] It's a shame (shame), the way you play with my emotions
[00:57.12] It's a shame (shame), the way you mess around with your man
[01:01.67] You're like a child at play, on a sunny day
[01:07.01] 'Cause you play with love, and then you throw it away
[01:11.23] Why do you use me, try to confuse me?
[01:16.43] How can you stand to be so cruel?
[01:20.64] Why don't you free me from this prison
[01:26.31] Where I serve my time as your fool?
[01:30.64] It's a shame (shame), the way you mess around with your man
[01:35.58] It's a shame (shame), the way you play with my emotions
[01:40.50] It's a shame (shame), the way you mess around with your man
[01:45.18] I try to stay with you show you love so true
[01:50.38] But you won't appreciate the love we try to make
[01:54.65] Oh, it's-a got to be a shame (uh)
[02:04.54] Why do you use me, try to confuse me?
[02:09.20] How can you stand to be so cruel?
[02:14.05] Why don't you free me from this prison
[02:19.52] Where I serve my time as your fool?
[02:24.50] Got to be a shame (shame), the way you mess around with your man
[02:29.16] Ohhh, it's a shame (shame), the way you hurt me
[02:32.92] Ohhh, it's a shame (shame), the way you mess around with your man
[02:38.22] You've got my heart in chains and I must complain
[02:43.74] I just can't be content, oh, look at (unintelligible)
[02:47.99] Ohhh, it's a shame (shame), the way you hurt me (yeah)
[02:59.44] Got to, got to, got to, got to be a shame (ooh yeah)
[03:06.18]
