Lyrics
Well I tried to tell you baby
Expressing an attempt to communicate with the partner
But it didn't make no sense
Conveying that the message was not understood
Now you've got me baby
Acknowledging the partner's impact on the speaker's situation
Up against the fence
Describing a feeling of being cornered or pressured
Ain't that a shame shame shame
Expressing disappointment and disapproval
Shame on you
Blaming the partner and expressing disapproval
Ah it's a shame shame shame
Reiterating a sense of disappointment and disapproval
Shame the way you do
Expressing disapproval for the partner's actions
Well now you've been gone in the evening
Noting the partner's absence during the evening
Don't even say you've gone
Rejecting the partner's denial of being absent
Six o'clock in the morning
Highlighting the early morning return of the partner
You come walkin' home
Describing the partner's return home in the morning
Ain't that a shame shame shame
Expressing continued disappointment and disapproval
Shame on you
Reiterating disapproval for the partner's behavior
Ah it's a shame shame shame
Continuing to express disapproval and shame
Shame the way you do
Reinforcing disapproval for the partner's actions
Well I've been sittin' here waitin'
Conveying a sense of waiting for the partner
For you to come home
Expressing disappointment when the partner doesn't return
When I wake up baby
Referring to the loneliness experienced upon waking up alone
I'm sittin' there all alone
Describing the speaker's solitary situation
Ain't that a shame shame shame
Expressing disappointment and disapproval again
Shame on you
Reiterating disapproval for the partner's actions
Ah it's a shame shame shame
Continuing to express disappointment and shame
Shame the way you do
Reinforcing disapproval for the partner's behavior
