Ain’t It A Shame

[Verse 1]
I have to love to keep from crying
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?
I was down and almost died
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?

[Chorus]
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
The way you use my love
It's 'bout to run from me
And that's a shame
The way you do
Ain't that a shame?

[Verse 2]
Now folks all think that we're just swell
It's alright
It's alright
You're so good and I'm so well
It's alright
It's alright

[Chorus]
People, you talk and it's such a lie
Funny how the people can be so blind
And I have to love to keep from crying
Ain't that a shame?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
The way you use my love
It's 'bout to run from me
And that's a shame
The way you do
Ain't that a shame?

[Outro]
Say, ain't that a shame?
Now ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?
