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

Cover art for It's a Plain Shame lyrics by Peter Frampton

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?"
