Isn't it a pity? Now, isn't it a shame How we break each others hearts And cause each other pain? How we take each others love Without thinking anymore Forgetting to give back Isn't it a pity? Some things take so long But how can I explain When not too very many people Can see we're all the same And because of all their fears Their eyes can't hope to see All the beauty that surrounds them Lord, ain't it a pity? Isn't it a pity? Lord, ain't it a shame How we break each others hearts And cause each other pain? We keep taking each others love Without thinking no more Forgetting to give back Lord, Lord, ain't it a pity? Forgetting to give back Ain't it a pity? We keep taking each others love Oh Lord, ain't it a pity?
