​what a shame Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna take my mind off you
Please, take me home and kiss me slow
And do anything you want to
Run your hand through my hair
It's okay to be rough
I'm a little bit tougher
Than all of your other girlfriends

[Chorus]
But you're not allowed
She's got you under lock and chain
Too late to let her down
So you're not allowed
What a shame it would be if you left her now
Now

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna take my mind off you
Please, make me laugh and kiss me back
And do everything you want to

Push me up against the wall
It's okay to be rough
I can handle this stuff
Only if you're comfortable
[Chorus]
But you're not allowed
She's got you under lock and chain
Too late to let her down
So you're not allowed
What a shame it would be if you left her now

[Outro]
Now
Now
Now
Now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
