Its A Shame Its A Game - Lyrics by Hollies


Lyrics

(hicks / horton jennings)
Out last night in my sunday stripes
(you didn't want to know me)
At the tuesday hop if i wear drainpipes
(you say you're gonna throw me)
The way you treat me's frightening
Strike me down like lightning
You know it's a shame (you didn't want to know)
It's a game (you say you're gonna throw me)

Out of town there's a story round
(you're staying with another)
At the picture show so the rumour goes
(you've been playing with my brother)
I don't know where i'm standing
You give me such a bumpy landing
It's a shame (you're staying with another)
It's a game (you've been playing with my brother)

Getting a bad reaction
Chasin' my girls best friend
Wonder should i walk on home
Plan a break-up or shake hands and make up again
It's a shame, it's a game (it's a a shame it's a game)
Wah ooh
It's a shame, it's a game
Wah ooh

I was out tonight looking wild in white
(you didn't want to know me)
Tried to catch a hint on how to jive
(you didn't want to show me)
I haven't got a dogs chance
If i don't know how to hip-dance
It's a shame (you didn't want to know me)
It's a game (you didn't want to show me)

Wah ooh
I really felt hip wearing my stripes, baby it's a shame
(it's a shame, it's a game)
And i really thought my drainpipes were outta sight yeah, it's a shame
(it's a shame, it's a game)
Well, you struck me down like lightning, baby, i didn't know what to do, ha
(it's a shame, it's a game)
There's so many rumors about me and about you i don't know what to do
It's a shame i don't know what to do, baby i need ya
(it's a shame, it's a game)
Oh, c'mon and teach me how to hip jive
(it's a shame, it's a game)
