Two years ago you broke us up on the telephone late at night
Shame shame shame, on you your little girlish fright
Last night we had a rerun, you called me sometime after ten
Shame, shame, shame, on me for letting you kill again
2nd time you threw that curve
Guess I got what I deserve

Well shame on you for the 1st time
For the 2nd time, shame on me

Two years ago I chalked it up to your being so very young
Shame, shame, shame, and when will you turn 21
What was it this time, that back you off and froze you cold
Shame shame shame, and suddenly I’m feeling old
I was set to throw some rice
Then it started raining ice

Well shame on you for the 1st time
For the 2nd time shame on me

You had me thinking thoughts I’d never thought before
Like settlin’ down
You had me pricing things I’d never priced before
Like lawn mowers, hedge clippers
Bathroom fixtures, baby slippers-

Two years ago I was ready to serenade you nightly till
Shame shame shame, you shoved me off your windowsill
Your voice rang in the moonlight, come back you are the best of men
But shame, shame, shame, I got my fingers smashed again
I won’t slander your good name
This time I’m the one to blame-

Well shame on you for the 1st time
For the 2nd time shame on me
Shame on me….
