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)
