[chorus]
Im no stranger to shame
Ive got little to blame
You sent for me and so I came
Ill come runnin when you call my name
Cuz Im no stranger, Im no stranger to shame
I said Im no stranger, Im no stranger to shame

I might stagger and I might sway
I might stutter just a bit but thats ok
Im not walkin too good thats true
I got a broke ass limp thatll pull me though
I might appear to be a pile of rags
But Im a stack of hundreds in a paper bag
Ive been around this world and back
I made a million bucks and put it all on black

So if you see me stumble you dont have to look away
Its not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because
So if you see me stumble you dont have to look away
Its not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because

[repeat chorus]

Ive been known to wake up in some dirty places
The sun only shines on deserving faces
The mind erases, forgets the stars
See each and every city has corner bar
Thats where I am in a world so grim
The lights are as bright as the day is dim
See Im priceless in a class of my own
I used to stay out late but now I dont go home

So if you see me stumble you dont have to look away
Its not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because

How do you feel when the birds are chirpin
When your in bed and everybody is workin
Are you down with the non believers
Make the slackers look like over achievers
The dogs scratchin on the door again
The cats out but he dont wanna come in
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 dont have to look away
Its not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because

[repeat chorus]
