It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to

It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?

I remember when the wedding bell rang
I even had your favorite artist sing
I could see this mirth on people's faces
They'd do anything to trades the places

Even that when we were driving 'round the world
Talks, because you were my girl
Oh, but what they said didn't mean a damn thing
'Cause I knew you were wearing my ring

It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to

It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?

I remember when we hooked up
Everyone was shook up
Couldn't believe that we got together
We made it through the good times
Couldn't withstand the bad times
Oh, girl, whatever

There was a time we could conversate through our problems
We would always find a way to solve them
If there's a way we could make it alright
So we don't, girl, have to fight

It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to

It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?

Let me thank you for your time
I'm so glad that you were mine
No matter how much you hate me
Remember when it was just we

And every door and step midway
Just remember the days we were together
Oh, girl
Listen to me, girl

It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to

It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends
How could something be so good
Could just come to an end?

It's a shame we don't talk no more
It's a shame we don't shop at the mall
It's a shame we don't make love like we used to
When you know you're the only one I'm used to

It's a shame you don't like my friends
It's a shame I don't like your friends

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
