Show Me a Little Shame Songtext
von Ben Harper

You, you′ve been lookin' at me
Just a little too long
Now I can never look the same

Blindness and kindness
There′s no difference in the two
When I can no longer see the good in you

So won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame?

Not ′cause I′m, I'm a gentle man
Lookin′ for a gentle woman
So-called ladies, they keep breakin' my heart

Showed me a house, showed me a home
Showed me how it could all fall apart


Now won′t you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame
Won′t you show me a little shame?

'Cause now I wake up in the morning
More tired than before I slept
I get through cryin', and I′m sadder than before I wept
I get through thinking now
And the thoughts had left my head
I get through speaking, and I can′t remember
Not a word that I said

You change your mind so many times
I wonder if you have a mind at all
And I'd rather be by myself
Than to have your lonesome company come to call

Now won′t you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame
Won′t you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame?
