I try my best just to past the test
But I don't think I'm gonna make it
Wham bam, people got a hold on me
And I just can't seem to shake it
I'm always down since I hit this town
Lord knows it sure is a pity
I never understand the woman or the man
What gets off livin' in the city
Anyway you see it, it remains the same
Can anybody tell me who's to blame?
Anyway you see it, it remains the same
Livin' like this is a cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
Workin' all day got no time to play
It's enough to make you worry
I just can't see for the life of me
Why everyone's in such a hurry
It takes all my money, got to please me honey
It sho' is makin' me crazy
Gotta find a way for to get my pay
Layin' down feelin' lazy
Anyway you see it, it remains the same
Can anybody tell me who's to blame?
Anyway you see it, it remains the same
Livin' like this is a cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
Cryin' shame
