Ain’t It a Shame Lyrics by Sinéad O’Connor

She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide Under the Shadow of the Almighty

2003

[Verse 1]
Flying saucers could land
And it wouldn't make much difference to my man
I could walk aboard and thank the Lord
And leave this damn town in seconds flat
Check my bags and never come back

[Chorus]
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out

[Verse 2]
Oh, I've been unkind
But not like you
Ain't I ashamed
Of being misused

[Chorus]
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out

[Verse 3]
I liked your Chevy Duster
I liked your brand new trailer
I liked your colour TV
But you looked at that colour TV
More than me
More than me

[Chorus]
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
