It's a shame about the weather
It's a shame about the crime
It's a shame about Elvis
It's a shame about the times
It's a shame about the stories
You have heard of me are true
It's damn shame but most of all
It's a shame I'm losing you
It's a damn shame about you beautiful
It's such a damn old shame, yeah

Baby it's been lonely here without you
Since our love split up and parted ways
I just watch the time pass by the hour
And the hazy nights turn into days

Guess you think that I'm some kinda moron
Guess you've told your friends that I'm a freak
Guess you've told them all about my secrets
Guess you've made them think that I'm so weak

It's a shame about the weather
It's a shame about the crime
It's a shame about Elvis
It's a shame about the times
It's a shame about the stories
You have heard of me are true
It's damn shame but most of all
It's a shame I'm losing you
It's a damn shame about you beautiful
It's such a damn old shame, yeah

Baby does it ever make you wonder
How we ever came to get this far
Living in a time warp with a nosebleed
Nothing ever seemed to be too hard

Baby are you happy where you are now
Let me know 'cos I have no idea
You should know I love you 'til it kills me
But you're better off without old me

It's a shame about the weather
It's a shame about the crime
It's a shame about Elvis
It's a shame about the times
It's a shame about the stories
You have heard of me are true
It's damn shame but most of all
It's a shame I'm losing you
It's a damn shame about you beautiful-a
