[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And oh woah girl, it's a shame
Oh woah girl, it's a doggone shame
We worked so hard but it's all in vain
Oh woah girl, it's a shame

[Verse 2]
Now I bought you gold and diamond rings
And I brought you home your pretty things
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 for just your fool
Trying to satisfy your every desire, each need you require

[Chorus]
Well, 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 woah girl, it's a shame (Someone now)

[Instrumental Break]
Woah
Woah, woah-hoo
Woah

[Chorus]
Oh woah girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
We worked so hard but it's all in vain
Oh woah girl, it's a shame
Oh woah girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame (A doggone shame)
I worked so hard but it's all in vain
Oh woah girl, it's a shame
