Stevie Wonder - It's a Shame (My Sister) lyrics

[Verse 1] My sister, my sister, tell me what the trouble is I'll try to listen good and give the best advice that I can give So, what's up with you this time? Your honey took a dive and now he's playin with your mind? Oh no, this can not be accepted The feelings that belong to you must be protected Hold up, time out, I shout, get it together sister Tell him to be nice or ditch the mister [Chorus] It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart It's a shame, the way you, hurt me! (repeat 2X) [Verse 2] Get back on your feet please I'm beggin you to check out all your own needs Don't let nobody see you in a state of grievin, over the brother There's another possibility Which is for you to work out where you went wrong I guarantee to you that it will not take long For you to make your mind up if the two of you belong You know where honey's head at, and where he's comin from Get it out your system, don't be another victim This took the nerve, oh boy, he really picked em, whaddya know It's time for you to show you're not sleepin A progress report on the two of you, you're keepin Peekin through the peephole, to see if honey's sneakin You estimated right, that night the other weekend Collectively the facts should conclude the decision You caught the brother in a terrible disposition [Chorus] It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart It's a shame, the way you, hurt me! (repeat 2X) [Verses 3] That's it, pack it up, be wise my sister Cause the facts keep stackin up, tell him, to kiss the you know what Make sure the door is shut, behind you I do believe the brother's out of luck, and stuck But that's not, your P-R-O-B-L-E-M You gotta let him go and let him know this is the end You've been kissed, dissed, listed as a dumb one I hope he likes sad songs, he's gonna hum one He's been a dum dum and that's the way it is forever There comes a time, when you're at the end of your tether And you know, I think you went FAR beyond that So it was bound to backtrack And smack you with an irksome vengeance as it attacks you Makin sure you get the full entire view Of who's to blame, at the end, of the game Things will never be the same And it's a cryin shame [Chorus] It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart It's a shame, the way you, hurt me! (repeat til fade)
