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?
