CHORUS
  I'm no stranger to shame
  I've got little to blame
  You sent for me and so I came
  I'll come runnin' when you call my name
  Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
  I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
  
  I might stagger and I might sway
  I might stutter just a bit but that's ok
  I'm not walkin' too good that's true
  I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me though
  I might appear to be a pile of rags
  But I'm a stack of hundreds in a paper bag
  I've been around this world and back
  I made a million bucks and put it all on black
  
  So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
  It's not the first time, not the last
  You can leave me where I lay, because
  So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
  It's not the first time, not the last
  You can leave me where I lay, because
  
  REPEAT CHORUS
  
  I've 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
  That's where I am in a world so grim
  The lights are as bright as the day is dim
  See I'm priceless in a class of my own
  I used to stay out late but now I don't go home
  
  So if you see me stumble you don't have to look
  away
  It's 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 cat's out but he don't 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 don't have to look away
  It's not the first time, not the last
  You can leave me where I lay, because
  
  REPEAT CHORUS
