I went to the closet to see what I had
Pulled the one suit that I own from the rack
If I could tell the future I'd just put it back
What a damn shame
Mama always said I should dress to impress
So I pressed my slacks and I hoped for the best
If I could tell the future, I would've tried less
What a damn shame
I heard Sinatra wouldn't be caught dead
Without a suit
I know I'm not him, my hair's more curly
And my eyes a little less blue
What a damn shame, what a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt
On a bad night
The waiter sat me down at a table for two
Asked me what I'm having, said I'm waiting for you
By the look in his eyes I think he already knew
It's a damn shame
After 'bout an hour, he poured me a drink
Said, "This is on the house" , I said, "It's not what you think"
I bet he could tell my heart was starting to sink
It's a damn shame
I heard Sinatra wouldn't be caught dead
Without a suit
But I know I'm not him 'cause he wouldn't be sitting here
Getting stood up by you
What a damn shame, what a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt
On a bad night
Guess I'll take the roses that I bought for you
Put 'em in some water in the living room
'Cause why should they have to suffer too?
Such a damn shame
What a damn shame, what a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt
On a bad night (damn shame)
What a damn shame, what a damn shame
What a damn shame when it don't go right
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt
On a bad night (damn shame)
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt
On a bad night
