Cryin' Shame
The bell rings, school's out
Friends go crazy, Teachers shout
Time slips by, a year is gone
Guess I'll kick another summer back
And sing this song
Don'tcha know that
Sittin' on a throne won't make you king
Starin' at the phone won't make it ring
Tryin' not to lose won't win no game
Wastin' love's just a Cryin' Shame
Just a Cryin' Shame
In the hall day after day
We check each other out, yea, then look away
How long can this game last
Before this heart of mine stops beating fast
Don'tcha know that
Sittin' on a throne won't make you king
Starin' at the phone won't make it ring
Tryin' not to lose won't win no game
Wastin' love's just a Cryin' Shame
Cryin' Shame
And if you're waiting for me to make a move
I've hope you've got a better plan, because
When it comes to boys playin' it cool
This city girl is old school
Don'tcha know that
Sittin' on a throne won't make you king
Starin' at the phone won't make it ring
Tryin' not to lose won't win no game
Wastin' love's just a Cryin' Shame
Cryin' Shame
One good reason don't make no rhyme
Actin' shy's just a waste of my time
Let's take two candles and make one flame
Wastin' love's just a Cryin' Shame
Just a cryin' shame
A Cryin' Shame
