It's a Plain Shame Lyrics
She showed her navel
She wore the label
She wore it thigh-high
Old-time sticky lipstick
Knockin' at my door
I just turn up the hi-fi
Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
(So long to love)
Well it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
She'd like to taste me
She'd like to waste me
She'd like to see me sky-high
New York to Boston
Same in Houston
I just say bye-bye
Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Well it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
She said, "I know it's late to
But I'd really like to play tunes
On your
Guitar"
"Let's get arrested
Want to be molested
Who cares how old
You are?"
Well it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Yes,it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
well it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
She wore the label
She wore it thigh-high
Knockin' at my door
I just turn up the hi-fi
It took me all this time to learn
(So long to love)
Well it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
She'd like to waste me
She'd like to see me sky-high
Same in Houston
I just say bye-bye
It took me all this time to learn
Well it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
But I'd really like to play tunes
On your
Guitar"
Want to be molested
Who cares how old
You are?"
It took me all this time to learn
Yes,it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
No matter which way you turn
well it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

I think this song is about the sexual temptations that confront a rock-star. In it, he describes a seductive, way-too-young groupie knocking on his door late at night, dressed provocatively, offering herself to him. From past mistakes, he has learned to just say "bye-bye". But she persists, weakens his resolve, and finally he gives in..."let's get arrested, who cares how old you are?"
