Ain't That A Shame
Gary Glitter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame ? My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame ? You're the one to blame.

You broke my heart when you said we're part
Ain't that a shame ? My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame ? You're the one to blame.
Boogie, babe!

Ain't that a shame ?
Ain't that a shame ?
Look out!

Farewell, 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.

Boogie, babe!

Ain't that a shame ?
Ain't that a shame ?

You made me cry when you said goodbye




Ain't that a shame ? My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame ? You're the one to blame.
