Cryin’ Shame Lyrics
Lyle Lovett
You got you some legs baby
That just wont quit
You got a pretty boy
And he looks pretty hip
You got you one on the sly
But you gave him the slip
And thats just a cryin shame
cause you love the boy
With pretty green eyes
And you love the boy
Who says hes so clever and wise
And you love the boy
Whos always telling you lies
And thats just a cryin shame
Sometimes it never quits raining
Sometimes that phone just wont ring
Sometimes I never miss nothing
And sometimes I miss anything
But you like em tall when its raining
And you like em dark when youre feeling no pride
But you never felt anything that you wanted to hide
And thats just a cryin shame
So he says you look lovely my dear
You say thank you Im fine
And you spend all his money
And you spend all his time
And you spend the night
Like you were spending a dime
And thats just a cryin shame
