Lyrics

In a dark motel room half an hour out of town
he's staring at the ceiling while the clock's a countin' down
there's footsteps on the pavement and his heart begins to race
she's standing in the doorway in her satin and her lace

it's a shame shame Sheila
sure I know where you been
well any fool can see what you've been doin from the state you're in
yeah it's a shame shame Sheila
shoulda known this would happen again
it's the same sad story and I'm always on the losin' end


She used to make excuses now she barely says goodbye
no need to stoke the furnace once you let the fire die
She knows that she?s not foolin? him, she?s waiting for the day
come home to find him waiting up and what?s he gonna say?

it's a shame shame Sheila
sure I know where you been
well any fool can see what you've been doin from the state you're in
yeah it's a shame shame Sheila
shoulda known this would happen again
it's the same sad story and I'm tired of the losin' end

Well Sheila went to church
learned her right from her wrong
but every night you?ll find her in a place she don?t belong
she doesn?t see their faces and she?ll never know their names
leaves ?em in the morning with a heart that?s full of shame

shame Sheila
sure I know where you been
well any fool can see what you've been doin from the state you're in
it?s a shame shame Sheila
shoulda known this would happen again
it's the same sad story and my heart is on the losin' end
