Ain't It A Shame

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

Nobody knows

The trouble I've seen

The way you use my love

Is bout to run from me

And that's a shame

The way you do

Ain't that a shame

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

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

Nobody knows

The trouble I've seen

The way you use my love

Is bout to run from me

And that's a shame

The way you do

Ain't that a shame

Say ain't that a shame

Now ain't that a shame

Ain't that a shame
