[Intro]


[Verse 1]

Just as I thought it was going alright

I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

I could say day and you'd say night

Tell me it's black when I know that it's white

Always the same, it's just a shame, and that's all


[Chorus]

I could leave but I won't go

Though my heart might tell me so

I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes

But why does it always seem to be

Me looking at you, you looking at me?

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all


[Verse 2]

Turning me on, turning me off

Making me feel like I want too much

Living with you's just a-putting me through it all of the time

Running around, staying out all night

Taking it all instead of taking one bite

Living with you's just a-putting me through it all of the time


[Chorus]

But I could leave but I won't go

Well it'd be easier, I know

I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes

But why does it always seem to be

Me looking at you, you looking at me?

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all


[Bridge]

Truth is I love you more than I wanted to

There's no point in tryin' to pretend

There's been no one who makes me feel like you do

Say we'll be together 'til the end


[Keyboard Solo]

(Choo-choo, hoo-hoo

Ooh-hoo

Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo

Yeah)


[Chorus]

But I could leave but I won't go,

It'd be easier, I know

I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes

So why does it always seem to be

Me looking at you, you looking at me

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all


[Bridge]

But I love you more than I wanted to

There's no point in trying to pretend

There's been no one who makes me feel like you do

Say we'll be together 'til the end


[Verse 3]

But just as I thought it was going alright

I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

Well, I could say day and you'd say night

Tell me it's black when I know that it's white

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

That's all


[Outro]

(Hoo, ah, ooh-hoo

Yeah, hey

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo

A-cheh-deh-foo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo

Ooh, doo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo)
