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
