[Verse 1]

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

Played your mind, played your heart

I played it all for me

Kept you frightened, kept you fighting

For something you would never see

Kept you trying, left you crying

Oh, baby, I could never let you free

[Bridge]

Cry, cry, sing your dying sound

I know I will only bring you down

[Verse 2]

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

Kept you frightened, kept you fighting

For something you would never see

Kept you trying, left you crying

But I could never let you free

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

[Bridge]

Cry, cry, sing your dying sound

I know I will only bring you down

[Refrain]

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?

Shame, shame, what kind of man could I be?
