Darlin', I'm amazed by your lovin' gaze
And your embrace when you say goodbye
But I can only smile, see you in a while
Is all I can give you back
I must keep playin' cool like a good girl should do
But I know that it's already there
I keep myself in line, tell myself in time
That these feelings I have will pass
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame that I can't love you back
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame that I can't love you back
♪
I can't see you the same, got no one to blame
Now that I know how you feel for me
But my man says, "Don't let go," it would hurt him so
I'll admit I'm ashamed to leave
My pride can't take the hit, but my heart is sick
From this lie that I'm livin' through
Outside I stay in check, but inside I'm a wreck
I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame that I can't love you back
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame that I can't love you back, yeah
