The bell rings school's out

Friends go crazy teachers shout

Time slips by a year is gone

Guess I'll kick another summer back

And sing this song

Don't cha know that

Sittin' on a throne won't make you king

Starin' at the phone won't make it ring

Tryin' not to lose won't win no game

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

Cryin' shame

Just a cryin' shame

Just a cryin' shame

Cryin' shame

Just a cryin' shame

In the hall day after day

We check each other out yea then look away

How long can this game last

Before this heart of mine stops beating fast

Don't cha know that

Sittin' on a throne won't make you king

Starin' at the phone won't make it ring

Tryin' not to lose won't win no game

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

Cryin' shame

Just a cryin' shame

And if you're waiting for me to make a move

I've hope you've got a better plan because

When it comes to boys playin' it cool

This city girl is old school old school

Don't cha know that

Sittin' on a throne won't make you king

Starin' at the phone won't make it ring

Tryin' not to lose won't win no game

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

One good reason don't make no rhyme

Actin' shy's just a waste of my time

Let's take two candles and make one flame

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

Just a cryin' shame

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

A cryin' shame

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

Just a cryin' shame

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame

Just a cryin' shame

Wastin' love's just a cryin' shame
