    Lyrics:
    My sister, my sister, tell me what the trouble is
    I'll try to listen good and give the best advice that I can give
    so, what's up with you this time?
    Your honey took a dive and now he's playin with your mind?
    Oh no, this can not be accepted
    The feelings that belong to you must be protected
    Hold up, time out, I shout, get it together sister
    Tell him to be nice or ditch the mister
    It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
    It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!
    Get back on your feet please
    I'm beggin you to check out all your own needs
    Don't let nobody see you in a state of grievin, over the brother
    there's another possibility
    Which is for you to work out where you went wrong
    I guarantee to you that it will not take long
    For you to make your mind up if the two of you belong
    You know where honey's head at, and where he's comin from
    Get it out your system, don't be another victim
    This took the nerve, oh boy, he really picked em, whaddya know
    It's time for you to show you're not sleepin
    A progress report on the two of you, you're keepin
    Peekin through the peephole, to see if honey's sneakin
    You estimated right, that night the other weekend
    Collectively the facts should conclude the decision
    You caught the brother in a terrible disposition
    It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
    It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!
    That's it, pack it up, be wise my sister
    cause the facts keep stackin up, tell him, to kiss the you know what
    Make sure the door is shut, behind you
    I do believe the brother's out of luck, and stuck
    But that's not, your P-are-O-be -L-E-M
    You gotta let him go and let him know this is the end
    You've been kissed, dissed, listed as a dumb one
    I hope he likes sad songs, he's gonna hum one
    He's been a dumb dumb and that's the way it is forever
    There comes a time, when you're at the end of your tether
    and you know, I think you went FAR beyond that
    So it was bound to backtrack
    And smack you with an irksome vengeance as it attacks you
    Makin sure you get the full entire view
    of who's to blame, at the end, of the game
    Things will never be the same
    And it's a cryin shame
    It's a shame, the way you mess around with my heart
    It's a shame, the way you, hurt me!

    When you grew up during the golden era hip hop and rnb (late 80s-mid 90s) songs like these are almost like breathing. I’m a 46 yr old middle aged white guy with two children. When I listen to classics like this, I’m transported almost to another world. Memories of great times and friends-Sports, music and girls/friendships was life back then as an adolescent. Hip hop from era transcends time and space. This is the original version which I always like more than remix’s Thanks Monie-you are a legend

    An awesome hip hop jam back in 1991 by Monie Love titled It’s A Shame(My Sister) was her only top 40 pop hit peaking at number 26. That song samples a classic Motown hit from 1970 It’s A Shame by the Spinners with G.C. Cameron on lead and was co-written and produced by Stevie Wonder which was their biggest hit on Motown before moving to Atlantic and hooking up with Thom Bell as their producer and it hit number four R&B and number fourteen pop. Monie Love did an outstanding job on that song.

    This song sampled The Spinners' 1970 single "It's a Shame" written for the band by Stevie Wonder, where as the "Cool as..." mix samples the guitar riff from the Sister Sledge hit "He's the Greatest Dancer". Stilll jamming to this every year 1990 to present.
