《I’m Livin’ In Shame》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm Livin' In Shame - The Supremes

[00:00:15] Mom was cookin' bread

[00:00:16] She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head

[00:00:20] Always had her stockings low

[00:00:21] Rolled to her feet she just didn't know

[00:00:24] She wore a sloppy dress

[00:00:26] Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess

[00:00:31] Out of the pot she ate

[00:00:32] Never used a fork or a dinner plate

[00:00:36] I was always so afraid

[00:00:38] For my uptown friends to see her

[00:00:40] Afraid one day when I was grown

[00:00:42] That I would be her

[00:00:48] In a college town

[00:00:51] Away from home a new identity I found

[00:00:54] Said I was born elite

[00:00:57] With maids and servants at my feet

[00:00:59] I must have been insane

[00:01:02] I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain

[00:01:06] She never got out of the house

[00:01:08] Never even boarded a train

[00:01:11] Married a guy was livin' high

[00:01:13] I didn't want him to know her

[00:01:15] She had a grandson two years old

[00:01:17] That I never even showed her

[00:01:19] I'm livin' in shame

[00:01:23] Mama I miss you

[00:01:28] I know you're not to blame

[00:01:32] Mama I miss you

[00:01:53] Came a telegram

[00:01:54] Mama passed away while making homemade jam

[00:01:58] Before she died

[00:01:59] She cried to see me by her side

[00:02:02] She always did her best

[00:02:04] Oh cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress

[00:02:10] Workin' hard down on her knees

[00:02:11] Always tryin' to please

[00:02:14] Mama mama mama can you hear me

[00:02:19] Mama mama mama can you hear me

[00:02:23] I'm livin' in shame

[00:02:26] Mama I miss you

[00:02:32] I know you've done your best

[00:02:34] Mama I miss you

[00:02:40] Won't you forgive me mom

[00:02:42] For all the wrong I've done

[00:02:44] I know you've done your best

[00:02:46] I know you've done the very best you could

[00:02:51] But I never understood

[00:02:53] Workin' hard down on your knees
