Lyrics Lyle Lovett

Lyle Lovett

Cryin' Shame

You got you some legs baby

That just won't quit

You got a pretty boy

And he looks pretty hip

You got you one on the sly

But you gave him the slip

And that's just a cryin' shame

'Cause you love the boy

With pretty green eyes

And you love the boy

Who says he's so clever and wise

And you love the boy

Who's always telling you lies

And that's just a cryin' shame

Sometimes it never quits raining

Sometimes that phone just won't ring

Sometimes I never miss nothing

And sometimes I miss anything

But you like 'em tall when it's raining

And you like 'em dark when you're feeling no pride

But you never felt anything that you wanted to hide

And that's just a cryin' shame

So he says you look lovely my dear

You say thank you I'm fine

And you spend all his money

And you spend all his time

And you spend the night

Like you were spending a dime

And that's just a cryin' shame
