I was never one to dance
But this time I took a chance
Started walking to the dance floor, gave her a smile
She started walking toward me
Then I took her hand you see
It was all I could do, focus on her forget about you
It's a damn shame

It's a damn shame that I'm playing a game
That I don't want to play
Well it's too late, guess it's my fate
You're still a burning flame
I shouldn't think about you with her in my arms
But what else can I do?
Baby it's a damn shame I can't forget your name
What else can I do?
Baby it's a damn shame

Guess I'm finding out the hard way
Two hearts tangled, one gets mangled
Even when I try to move on, you get stuck in my head
Maybe end up in my bed
It's a damn shame

I'm playing a game that I don't want to play
And it's too late, guess it's my fate
You're still a burning flame
Well I shouldn't think about you with her in my arms
But what else can I do?
Baby it's a damn shame I can't forget your name
Oh what else can I do?
Baby it's a damn shame

Baby it's a damn shame

Baby it's a damn shame I'm playing a game
That I don't want to play
And it's too late, guess it's my fate
You're still a burning flame
I shouldn't think about you with her in my arms
But what else can I do?
Baby it's a damn shame I can't forget your name
Yeah what else can I do?
Baby it's a damn shame

Baby it's a damn shame
(Yeah!)
