It's A Shame Lyrics


It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to
It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?
I remember when the wedding bell rang
I even had your favorite artist sing
I could see this mirth on people's faces
They'd do anything to trades the places
Even that when we were driving 'round the world
Talks, because you were my girl
Oh, but what they said didn't mean a damn thing
'Cause I knew you were wearing my ring
It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall

It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to
It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?
I remember when we hooked up
Everyone was shook up
Couldn't believe that we got together
We made it through the good times
Couldn't withstand the bad times
Oh, girl, whatever
There was a time we could conversate through our problems
We would always find a way to solve them
If there's a way we could make it alright
So we don't, girl, have to fight
It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to
It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?
Let me thank you for your time
I'm so glad that you were mine
No matter how much you hate me
Remember when it was just we
And every door and step midway
Just remember the days we were together
Oh, girl
Listen to me, girl
It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to
It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?
It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to
It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends

Keith Sweat (born Keith Crier on July 22, 1961 in Harlem, New York), is a popular R&B/soul singer, songwriter, record producer and a major contributor to the New jack swing era. Before becoming a recording artist, Sweat worked for the commodities market in the New York Mercantile Exchange. He sang at nightclubs throughout New York City until he was discovered and offered a recording contract with Elektra Records in 1987.

Make It Last Forever era: 1985-1993

Sweat started his musical career as a member of a well known Harlem band called "Jamilah" in 1975. With the help of Jamilah, Sweat was able to hone his craft as a lead singer by performing regionally throughout the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The group was started by Larry Peebles, a talented bass player from 116th Street and Lenox Avenue, and included several members who came in and out of the group; among those included was Gregory Ross, a well known Harlem keyboard player who currently lives and works in the Los Angeles area.

On November 25, 1987, Sweat released his debut album Make It Last Forever, which sold three million copies. The biggest hit from this album was "I Want Her" (#1 R&B/#5 Pop), and the title track from the album was hit #2 on the R&B charts.

Sweat continued to chart fairly well with his sophomore album I'll Give All My Love To You, which hit #6 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Keep It Comin debuted in the Top 20 of the album chart.
