What A Shame!

Never even saw it coming, what a shame,
What a shame!
Now my life will never, ever be the same.

She was standing there before me,
In a little mini-skirt,
And I tried, but wasn't able,
To avoid the need to flirt,
What a shame!

And I tried to keep from looking, what a shame,
What a shame!
But I don't think I am really all to blame.

For she looked so sweet and pretty,
In her little bobby-socks,
With her hair pulled back in pigtails,
She was such a little fox,
What a shame!

My dear Mother tried to warn me, what a shame,
What a shame!
That the girls would always play this silly game.

First, they'll take your heart and twist it,
Into several little knots,
Then they'll hold you and they'll kiss you,
'Till you're seeing little spots,
What a shame!

Now I'm feeling rather giddy, what a shame,
What a shame!
Fell in love before I even knew her name.

So I asked if she would marry,
And if she would be my wife,
She's the mother of my children,
And I've settled down for life,
What a shame!

And to think that I was single, what a shame,
What a shame!
Running wild and having parties, now I'm tame.

Glad I changed my way of living,
With this lady by my side,
I'm content and very happy,
Though for years I tried to hide,
What a shame!
