The Spinners

R&B · pop · soul

The Spinners are a Detroit, Michigan-based soul vocal group (active since 1954), and most popular during the 1970s. The group still tours as of 2008. The band is also listed occasionally as The Motown Spinners, or (after they left the Motown label) The Detroit Spinners. These were their monikers in the UK to avoid confusion with a British group called The Spinners. Wikipedia

It's a shame, the way you mess around with your man It's a shame the way you hurt me It's a shame, the way you mess around with your man I'm sitting all alone, by the telephone Waiting for your call, when you don't call at all		It's a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man It's a shame (shame) the way you play with my emotions It's a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man You're like a child at play, on a sunny day But you play with love, and then you throw it away
Why do you use me, try to confuse me How can you stand, to be so cruel Why don't you free me, from this prison Where I serve my time as your fool		It's a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man It's a shame (shame) the way you hurt me It's a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man I try to stay with you, show you love so true But you won't appreciate, the love we try to make
Oh, it's got to be a shame		Why do you use me, try to confuse me How can you stand, to be so cruel Why don't you free me, from this prison Where I serve my time as your fool
Got to be a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man Ohhh, it's a shame (shame) the way you hurt me It's a shame (shame) the way you mess around with your man You've got my heart in chains, and I must complain I just can't be content, oh look at (muttering)		Got to, got to, be a shame
