Lyrics
Love Letter (What a Shame)

Verse 1
I got your love letter
Signed, sealed, delivered, too late
You should have known me better
I?m not the kind to wait
Because a woman like me, needs a man to be
A rock-steady man
I need a lover that won?t run for cover
Baby you missed your chance
Chorus
What a shame, what a pity
You were fine baby, that?s no lie
What a shame, oh what a pity
Oh what a pity that you?re not here with me
Verse 2
I got your love letter
Sweet as temptation can be
Brown sugar and sunny weather
Is what your promising
But you fooled me before, if I?m a fool once more
Shame, shame on me
Return to sender, my heart won?t surrender
Baby I?ve set it free
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Some people stay too long
Don?t know when to say goodbye
I?ve never looked back when I walked out that door
There?s always more waiting down the line
Repeat Chorus
