No Stranger to Shame

I'm no stranger to shame
 I've got little to blame
 You sent for me, and so I came
 I'll come runnin' when you call my name
 'Cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
 I might stagger, and I might sway
 I might stutter just a bit but that's okay (uh-huh)
 I'm not walkin' too good that's true
 I got a broke-ass limp that'll pull me through (uh)
 I might appear to be a pile of rags
 But I'm a stack of hundreds in a paper bag
 I've been around this world and back
 I made a million bucks, and put it all on black
 So, if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
 It's not the first time, it's not the last
 You can leave me where I lay, because
 I'm no stranger to shame
 I've got little to blame
 You sent for me and so I came
 I'll come runnin' when you call my name
 'Cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
 I've been known to wake up in some dirty places
 The sun only shines in deserving faces
 The mind erases, forget the stars
 See each and every city has a corner bar (yup)
 That's where I am, in a world so grim
 The lights are as bright as the day is dim
 See I'm priceless in a class of my own
 I used to stay out late but now I don't go home
 So, if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
 It's not the first time, it's not the last
 You can leave me where I lay, because
 How do you feel when the birds are chirpin'? (Hey)
 When you're in bed and everybody is workin' (hey)
 Are you down with the non-believers? (Hey)
 Make the slackers look like over-achievers (hey)
 The dogs scratchin' on the door again (hey)
 The cat's out but he don't wanna come in (hey)
 You got a bed and you got a floor
 But the couch is closer to your front door
 So, if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
 It's not the first time, it's not the last
 You can leave me where I lay, because
 I'm no stranger to shame
 I've got little to blame
 You sent for me and so I came
 I'll come runnin' when you call my name
 'Cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
 'Cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
