 You, youve been looking  at me  just a little too long
 now I  can never  look the same
Blindness  and kindness,  theres no difference in the two
 when I can no  longer see  the good in you
 So wont you show  me a little  shaaaame
 Wont you show  me a little  shaaaaame
 Now cause im,  Im a gentleman,  lookin for a gentlewomen
 so-called ladies  keep breakin  my heart
Show  me a house,  show me a home
 show me how  it could all  fall apart
 So wont you show  me a little  shaaaaame
 Wont you show  me a little  shaaaaaame
 Wont you show  me a little  shaaaaaame
 cause now i  wake up in the morning more tired  than before I slept
 I get through crying and Im sadder  then before I wept
 I get through thinking and the thoughts  have left  my head
 I get through speaking and I cant remember not a word  that I said
You  change your mind  so many times
 I wonder  if you have a mind  at all
 And Id  rather be  by myself
 than to have your lonesome  company  come to call
 So wont you show  me a little  shaaaaame
 Wont you show  me a little  shaaaaaame
 Wont you show  me a little  shaaaaaame
 (Fade Out....)Wont you show  me a little  shaaaaaame
