Shame Lyrics - Robbie Williams

Well there's three versions of this story mine, yours and then the truth 

And we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood, then our youth 

Out of some sentimental gain I wanted you to feel my pain, but it came back return to sender 

I read your mind and tried to call, my tears could fill the Albert Hall, is this the sound of sweet surrender? 

What a shame we never listened 

I told you through the television 

And all that went away was the price we paid 

People spend a lifetime this way 

Oh what a shame.

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus 

And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-R-Us 

I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind, about a man I can't remember 

I don't recall the reasons why, I must have meant them at the time, is this the sound of sweet surrender? 

What a shame we never listened 

I told you through the television 

And all that went away was the price we paid 

People spend a lifetime this way 

And that's how they stay 

Oh what a shame. 

Words come easy, when they're true 

Words come easy, when they're true 

So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus 

And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-R-Us 

Now we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood then our youth.

What a shame we never listened 

I told you through the television 

And all that went away was the price we paid 

People spend a lifetime this way 

And that's how they stay 

Oh what a shame. 

People spend a lifetime this way 

Oh what a shame 

Such a shame, what a shame
