[Intro]
I guess I've had time to think, and
I feel kinda relaxed now, because
I no longer feel the need
To search for somethin' that might have been imagined
I really learned that I— I can't capture all the feelings that I have inside
It's like when a painter paints, he can never put it all there
Hm, it's funny, isn't it?
I guess that's a lesson you learn in life

[Chorus]
Ain't it a shame? Can't give it a name
The moment you do it flees from you
Ain't it a shame? Can't give it a name
The moment you do it flees from you

[Verse 1]
Why should I analyze?
It's what I feel inside
There's really nothing to know, let go
Enjoy the ride
And when I'm holding your hand
What is there to understand?
There is no reasoning for what we feel
You, you just worry about being for real
Most of the time we want things to rhyme
But there is something not imagined by the mind (Ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Ain't it a shame? (Talk about it) Can't give it a name (Hm)
The moment you do it flees from you (That's what happened to me)
Ain't it a shame? Can't give it a name (Tell it, tell it)
The moment you do it flees from you

[Verse 2]
I better leave it alone
You might get it wrong
You're gonna be surprised
You can speak with your eyes
The very moment you're sure
You're back again, crawling on the floor
And that's the wall you will bump against
The question is, is it fate or is it chance?
But if you got to know and if you insist
It will vanish like the will of the wisp

[Refrain]
Ain't it a shame?

[Chorus]
Ain't it a shame? Can't give it a name
The moment you do (That's what happened to me) it flees from you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ain't it a shame? (Ain't it a shame? Talk about it) Can't give it a name
The moment you do it flees from you (Ohh)
[Outro]
Ain't it a shame? (Ain't it a shame?) Can't give it a name (Never, ever, no, no, no, no)
The moment you do it flees from you (Flees, you)
Ain't it a shame?
