Crying Shame

You crashed the party with your pigtails in the air, I watched you You worked the crowded room with a cold and steady stare My heart's palpitating and I sweat from every pore And then my feet start crusading for a shuffle toward the door You touched my elbow and you asked me how I'd been I must be passing on, notify my next of kin I'm feeling better and I asked her if she's fine She said "I wish things were different" and I often crossed her mind Are you coming back again Every time I see you it's a crying shame (Crying shame) How could things between us ever be the same When I think about it don't know who's to blame (Who's to blame) Now you're coming back again You dropped some hints and flashed a nervous little smile I've been down that road before, I can't go another mile Been thinking lately about our summers on the shore And how you, you took me riding but you always wanted more I pledge allegiance to this many splendored thing we had But I can't take a fallen bird and teach it how to sing And we can't go back to high school and just start it all again You said that, you said that looking back was such a mortal sin Are you coming back again Every time I see you it's a crying shame (Crying shame) How could things between us ever be the same When I think about it don't know who's to blame (Who's to blame) Now you're coming back again and again and again Oh every time I see you it's a crying shame (Crying shame) How could things between us ever be the same When I think about it don't know who's to blame (Who's to blame) Now you're coming back again and again and again
