You made me cry
When you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
Yeah, yeah
Girl, you broke my heart
When you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame
Yeah, oh c'mon, c'mon
Oh well, goodbye
Although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame
Shame, shame
C'mon now
Oh well, goodbye
Although I'll cry

My tears fell like rain
