Shame on Me - Solomon Burke

We had a quarrel, yes, we did the other day

We both got angry, so angry, you walked away

Now tell me darling, truthfully

Was that the right thing to do?

People are saying, shame on me

I’m saying shame on you

I don’t remember just how it all started

But oh, I know, I know, I know, I know

Right now we’re parted and I’m so broken hearted

I wonder, I wonder, do you feel the way I do?

Let them talk, shame on me But shame, shame, shame on you

I been waiting here by this telephone

Calling you like a fool

Hoping that you would soon come home

It’s way past midnight and I know you’re overdue

But I feel kind of funny inside because I know

I’m still truthfully deep down in my heart in love with you

I know some of these thing you doing it just for spite

But if you just answer the phone

Tell me that you love me, one more time

Everything will be alright

Darling, as I look at the clock on the wall

Time is drifting so fast and so swiftly away

I wanna say

Oh, tell me what’s the use now

I guess I’ll just give in Operator, call that number again

She knows I’m sorry and I know she’s sorry too

I don’t care what they think if they say, shame on me

'Cause I’ll say shame on you

Hello baby, she’s here, I’m glad your home

You know I just wanna tell you that I’m sorry, yeah

You know I love you, baby

Oh, we were just being silly that’s all

I’ve been trying to call you all night long
