Randy Newman — Shame

[Verse 1] Pretty little baby How come you never come around? Pretty little baby How come you never come around? I sent you all them pretty flowers Now you're nowhere to be found [Verse 2] Call you up at midnight sometime, I must admit When I find you're not at home My head heats up like a furnace My heart grows colder than a stone So what's the good of all this money I got If every night I'm left here all alone? It's a gun that I need [Chorus 1] (Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame) I ain't ashamed of nothin' (Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame) I don't know what you're talking about [Verse 3] All right, let's talk a little business You know what I'm saying? A man of my experience of life Don't expect a beautiful young woman like yourself To come on over here every day Have some old dude banging on her like a gypsy on a tambourine That's not what we're talking about That's not what we're talking about That's not what we're talking about But I will say this I've been all over the world I've seen some wonderful things I haven't been well lately I have no one to share my plans, my dreams My hopes and my schemes, my-- [Chorus 2] (Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame) Could be right I've sunk pretty low this time (Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame) These are truly desperate times [Verse 4] Saw your little sandals, baby Out behind the wishing well Down here in the cool depths of the Quarter Where the rich folk dwell And I pictured you in diamonds Satins and pearls Come on back to daddy Daddy miss his little baby girl [Bridge] Now, my father, he is an angry man You cross him, he made you pay I myself am no longer an angry man Don't make me beg you Don't make me beg [Verse 5] Do you know what if feels like To wake up in the morning Have every joint in your body aching, goddammit? Do you know what it feels like To have to get up in the middle of the night And sit down to take a piss? You do know? So you say I have my doubts, Missy Do you know what it feels like To have to beg a little bum like you for love? Goddammit, you little bitch I'd kill you if I didn't love you so much [Chorus 3] (Shame, shame, shame, shame) Shut up! Forgive me My unfocused words I was flying blind I lost my mind (Shame, shame, shame) If you could find it in your heart, if you got one To forgive me (Shame, shame, shame) I'd be ever so grateful Will you stop that, please? (Shame, shame, shame) Will you stop that, please? I'm trying to talk to someone (Shame) Thank you You know, I have a Lexus now, and I don't get out much You know what I'm saying Come on home
