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

It's '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

It's '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?
