Such A Shame - Anita Lipnicka, John Porter

It’s such a shame I’ve met you

Now, when it’s all too late

Everything I had to give

I’ve already given away.

My heart is gone.

My body’s is gone.

It’s just the ghost you see

The ghost of someone you would like

Someone I used to be

So, take this song

It’s all I’ve got

That wasn’t played before

The rest is stained,

Worn out, gone astray.

I’ve played it down to the bone

In your eyes there’s a hunger

I cannot satisfy

I’ll never become your mistress

I’ve been everyone else’s wife

My heart is gone.

My body’s gone.

I traded them so low

Just for a few drops of passion

Just for some scraps of love

So, take this song

It’s all I’ve got

That wasn’t played before

The rest is stained

Worn out, gone astray

I’ve played it down to the bone

So, take this song

It’s all I’ve got

I hope you understand

The rest is stained

Worn out, gone astray

It’s such a shame I’ve met you

Now, when it’s all to late

If only I never met you

I wouldn’t mind the waste.
