Crying Shame

CRYING SHAME
It’s a cryin’ shame, the mess you’re in
I’d like to help you, but I don’t know where to begin

God only knows why this should happen to you
Didn’t you used to have connections? Didn’t none of them come through?

You who never done nothin’ to cause any pain
To anyone who wasn’t in your way

It’s a mystery to me that this should come to pass
That one such as you should sink so low so fast
It’s a cryin’ shame, it’s a cryin’ shame

Remember how you used to sneer
At all those who were livin’ on the other side of the mirror?

“There just ain’t no excuse,” you used to proclaim
“For anyone to get caught in that kind of sucker’s game”

You were way up on top then, now you’re way down there
Why doesn’t anybody see you? Why doesn’t anybody care?

What’s that you’re sayin’, darlin’? I don’t understand
Your lips are trembling and so are your hands
It’s a cryin’ shame, it’s a cryin’ shame.

Honey, I know some people who can tell you what you should do
They said they would get back to me, when they do I’ll get back to you
Honey, I know some people who can tell you what you should do
They said they would get back to me, when they do I’ll get back to you

Remember the day everything came your way
Now you gotta start livin’ on what you used to throw away

You used to raise your glass and make a toast to you
You used to talk pretty good about all the things you were gonna do

Now it looks like you’re gonna have to learn a new way to talk
Gotta crawl around on all fours, babe, before you learn how to walk

Better get yourself together darlin’, the sun’s comin’ up
Maybe not here but somewhere darlin’, the sun’s comin up
It’s a cryin’ shame, it’s a cryin’ shame
