"What A Shame" lyrics

I know our love won't be a give and take
(And take)
I'll keep on giving, giving, giving and hope someday you do the same
'Cause I would give you my everything
(Everything)
And get nothing, nothing, nothing in return for wasted days
But I, I like you the way you are
And I, I wouldn't mind if you broke my heart

Then sit and watch as I slowly fall apart
From the start you've...

Been switching up, switching up on me
The devil's in the details, nothing comes easy
Switching up, switching up
You got me losing my mind
We're not the kids we used to be and I've needed you since seventeen
Been switching up, switching up, got me up all night
But momma said everything takes time

It takes time
It takes time

I haven't felt this good in about five years
So I deserve to write a song about the way I feel
'Cause I, I would ride down the boulevard
And I, I wouldn't mind if you crashed the car

Been switching up, switching up on me
The devil's in the details, nothing comes easy
Switching up, switching up
You got me losing my mind
We're not the kids we used to be and I've needed you since seventeen
Been switching up, switching up, got me up all night
But momma said everything takes time

My heart's yours for the taking
Don't you know how long I've been waiting?
My heart's yours for the taking
Don't you know how long I've been waiting?
My heart's yours for the taking
Don't you know how long I've been waiting?
Take my everything
Said, "What a shame, what a shame"
Give me back nothing
Said, "What a shame, what a shame"
