It's A Shame, It's A Game Lyrics - Hollies

(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)
