Cry, Cry in shame, shame
Cry, Cry in shame yes, yes, yes

You said you didn't wanna love somebody else 
If you won't loving me ooh baby, yeah don't you know you did me wrong yeah
You kiss and you cheat like you hold them 
No telling what you might have them will approve

Cry, Cry in shame, shame
Cry, Cry in shame yeah

You said you didn't wanna talk to nobody 
Unless you was talking to me oh, oh, 
Oh yes you talking about what you see right now
You smile and you started winking 
And I know just what you were thinking now you do

If you believe in a better world 
I guess to me I'm turning back my hands uptie
Baby if our love make you feel 
I will get together for the on down the line 
But for now it's a crime in chain, crime in chain
But for now it's a crime in chain yeah

You said you didn't wanna be smacking on nobody else 
If you weren't kissing me but (you)*5 kiss everybody it seems
You did it, forget it, admit it, let's quit it yeah, yeah with who?

You lied, you cheated now 
I'm getting so darn god tired of being misunderstood 
Now with who?

Cry, Cry in shame (yeah)
Cry, Cry in shame (yeah)
Cry, Cry in shame (yeah)
Cry, Cry in shame (yeah)
Cry, Cry in shame oh yes now right now
Cry, Cry in shame (cry)
Cry, Cry in shame (cry)
Cry, Cry in shame (cry)
Cry, Cry in shame (cry)
Cry, Cry in shame
