You wake up early in the morning
Just before the break of day
You wake up early in the morning
Just before the break of day
When I try to say something to you, baby
You don't hear a word I say
Go on, baby
I know you're trying to do your thing
I said go on, go on, baby
I know you're trying to do your thing
But if you don't understand my conversation
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame
All right!
Mercy!
Tell you the truth
I wrote you a long, long letter
Trying to make our lives just a little bit better
I wrote, I wrote you a long, long letter
I was trying to make our lives just a little bit better
But you wouldn't understand it, baby
If I wrote it in big boxcar letters
So go on, baby
And try and do your thing
Go on, go on, baby
And try to do your thing
And if you don't understand my conversation
Then what a shame, what a shame, what a shame
Go on, baby
Go on, baby
Go on, baby
Try and do your thing
Go on, baby
Go on, baby
And if you miss my conversation
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame
All right. Thank you so much. Yes
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame
