It's a Shame - Monie Love

Dedicated to Jo.
My sister, my sister, tell me what the trouble is
I'll try to listen good and give the best advice that I can give
so, what's up with you this time?
Your honey took a dive and now he's playin with your mind?
Oh no, this can not be accepted
The feelings that belong to you must be protected
Hold up, time out, I shout, get it together sister
Tell him to be nice or ditch the mister
It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!
[x2]
Get back on your feet please
I'm beggin you to check out all your own needs
Don't let nobody see you in a state of grievin, over the brother
there's another possibility
Which is for you to work out where you went wrong
I guarantee to you that it will not take long
For you to make your mind up if the two of you belong
You know where honey's head at, and where he's comin from
Get it out your system, don't be another victim
This took the nerve, oh boy, he really picked em, whaddya know
It's time for you to show you're not sleepin
A progress report on the two of you, you're keepin
Peekin through the peephole, to see if honey's sneakin
You estimated right, that night the other weekend
Collectively the facts should conclude the decision
You caught the brother in a terrible disposition
It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!
[x2]
That's it, pack it up, be wise my sister
cause the facts keep stackin up, tell him, to kiss the you know what
Make sure the door is shut, behind you
I do believe the brother's out of luck, and stuck
But that's not, your P-R-O-B-L-E-M
You gotta let him go and let him know this is the end
You've been kissed, dissed, listed as a dumb one
I hope he likes sad songs, he's gonna hum one
He's been a dum dum and that's the way it is forever
There comes a time, when you're at the end of your tether
and you know, I think you went FAR beyond that
So it was bound to backtrack
And smack you with an irksome vengeance as it attacks you
Makin sure you get the full entire view
of who's to blame, at the end, of the game
Things will never be the same
And it's a cryin shame
It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!

Almost 40 y.y. and this is one of my greatest songs of all time. Number 1 on my Playlist 💪🏾 and my go to for switching a negative mood to a good one. Much love Monie; thank you for this timeless classic ❤

[@manticvii]

Had the original 12" from 90'. Lost in a stolen crate of records after rocking a party in East LA. One of those songs I sing to myself regularly. My soul will never let go of this song...

[@whal8y]

Heard this yesterday... And brought me back to my childhood. Song still plays strong as hell!

[@Miss.Nisha81]

I was 9 years old when this song was out. Can't believe it's been over 23 years since this song was out.

[@terrytyler3139]

The instrumental background of the song its a shame by the spinners in 1970

[@smallbee1234]

Well done by Monie. The topic of domestic abuse and the way couples fight, and the subsequent sorrow and emptiness that it brings is palpable thru this song.

[@evielcraig]

love this track after all these years still sounds great

[@alim3611]

[@judithjohnson3037]

I sat with a tape recorder in 1990 to get the lyrics and sing along. Almost word perfect but thought it was "Tell him to be not so distant sister" rather than "... ditch the Mister" which seemed to fit.
