Ain’t It A Shame Lyrics by The B-52's

Bouncing Off The Satellites

1986

[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
Not like you
Ain't I ashamed?
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 color TV
But you looked at that color 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
