It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame the way you hurt me

My sister, my sister, tell me what the trouble is
I'll try to listen good and give the best advice that I can give
So, what's up with you this time?
Your honey took a dive and now he's playin with your mind?
Oh no, this can not be accepted
The feelings that belong to you must be protected
Hold up, time out, I shout, get it together sister
Tell him to be nice or ditch the mister

It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame the way you hurt me
It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame the way you hurt me

Get back on your feet please
I'm beggin you to check out all your own needs
Don't let nobody see you in a state of grievin, over the brother
There's another possibility
Which is for you to work out where you went wrong
I guarantee to you that it will not take long
For you to make your mind up if the two of you belong
You know where honey's head at, and where he's comin from

It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame the way you hurt me
It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame the way you hurt me

Why do you use me, try to confuse me
How can you stand, to be so cruel
Why don't you free me, from this prison
Where I serve my time as your fool

It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame the way you hurt me
It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame the way you hurt me

You're like a child at play, on a sunny day

It's a shame the way you mess around with my heart
