Lyrics
I don't need no rising moon
I don't need no ball and chain
I don't need anything with you
Such a shame, shame, shame

Shame, shame, shame shame is the shadow of love

You changed my life
We were as green as grass
And I was hypnotized
From the first 'til the last, kiss of

Shame, shame, shame shame is the shadow of love

I'd jump for you into the fire
I'd jump for you into the flame
Tried to go forward with my life
I just feel shame, shame, shame

Shame, shame, shame shame is the shadow of love

And if you tell a lie
I still would take the blame
If you pass me by
It's such a shame, shame, shame
