You donâ??t know how bad I feel
The doctor says Iâ??m very ill
Heâ??s feeding me little yellow pills for my heart
And itâ??s a shame, shame, shame

My temperatureâ??s a hundred and two
And the doctor donâ??t think Iâ??m gonna pull through
But thereâ??s nothing he can do without you, girl
And itâ??s a shame, shame, shame
Oh itâ??s a shame, shame, shame

Iâ??m wasting away to nothing
And I ainâ??t got the will to try
But if you donâ??t come home running, now
I swear Iâ??m gonna die
Itâ??s a doggone shame, oh yes it is

I said itâ??s a shame, shame, shame
Oh itâ??s a shame, shame, shame

Iâ??m wasting away to nothing
And I ainâ??t got the will to try
But if you donâ??t come home running
I swear Iâ??m gonna die
Itâ??s a shame, shame

You know Iâ??m a hospital case
I lost all the colour from my face
Iâ??m gonna leave the human race
If you donâ??t come home

itâ??s a shame, shame, shame
And itâ??s a shame, shame, shame
Itâ??s a doggone shame
Baby please come home

Itâ??s a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
(I need them little yellow pills)
itâ??s a shame, shame, shame
(I need them little yellow pills)
