What I say, it's a burnin' shame
Yeah, I don't like that kind of game,
When you mess around with your man
Actin' like I'm a clown, you know
Treatin' me like I'm a clown
Stop been messin' around girl
The way you cheat with your man
When I say shame on you little baby girl
The way you hurt your man
The way you fool around with your man
the way you do things like that
try to treat me like that
But just keep on messing around
Actin' as if I'm a doggone clown
The way you mess around with your man
But I say it's a burden shame
When you mess around with the man,
as I would tell you, baby
I don't like the way you do them
kind of things, as I would say
Don't mess around, now I tell you
Say you're treating me like a clown
Still I'm not gonna stick around
to have you treating me like that,
When I say I don't wanna stick around,
To make you hug me just like a clown
To make you treat me just like a fool
Treating me like a legal fool
Got to be a real long shame
It's got to be, it must be a shame
Sure it's got to be as I would say
You're treatin' me so cold, baby
You're like a deep freeze, I mean
I gotta be a shame, alright
Treatin' me real silly and stupid
