Had a girl in my hometown Sorry now that I put her down Could've lived so happily Well, shame on me Why oh why did I go away? Sorry now that I didn't stay I still think how it used to be Well, shame on me What a fool I must have been Then again I was so young Tell me how could I have known How it feels to get stung? Going back to my hometown Find the girl that I put down. I'm going to ask her to marry me But if I'm late Oh, shame on me What a fool I must have been Then again I was so young Tell me how could I have known How it feels to get stung? Going back to my hometown Find the girl that I put down Going to ask her to marry me. But if I'm late Oh, shame on me Shame on me Shame on me Shame on me
