PATTI LABELLE - Isn't It A Shame lyrics

rate me

How is it that two people

Who laughed together and loved together

Sometimes end up far apart?

(Tell me how is it?)

And how is it that two people

Who cry together, wanna die together

Sometimes end up with a broken heart?

Isn't it a shame

(Isn't it a shame, my friend)

Sometimes such a love?

(Sometimes such a love such as this must leave?)

Isn't it a shame

(Isn't it a shame, you have to laugh before you cry?)

And how is it that two people

Who cling together wanna dream, dream together

(Cling together wanna have a little dream together)

Oh, they end up alone?

(Tell me how is it?)

And how is it that two people

Who plan together, make a little life together

Sometimes end up along that road?

Isn't it a shame?

(Isn't it a shame, my friend?)

Sometimes such a love

(Sometimes such a love such as this is must leave)

Isn't it a shame?

(Baby, you have to laugh before you)

Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave?

(You'll have to laugh before you cry)

Isn't it a shame?

Sometimes such a love

Isn't it a shame?

Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame?

Sometimes such a love

Isn't it a shame?

You have to laugh before you cry

Baby, look, shame

Oh, you gotta laugh before you

Isn't it a shame

That such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame

Sometimes such a love?

Isn't it a shame

(You have to laugh before you cry, cry, cry)

Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave, woah?

Isn't it a shame, my friend

Sometimes such a love?

Isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame

That such a love must leave, woah?

And how is it that two people

Who live together, dream, dream together

Sometimes end up all alone?

(Tell me how is it?)

I said how is it again that two people

Cling together, dream, dream together

(Cling together, wanna build a little dream together)

Sometimes end up all alone?

Isn't it a shame, my friend

Sometimes such a love?

Isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame

That such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame

Sometimes such a love?

Isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame

That such a love must leave?

Isn't it a shame

Sometimes such a love?

Isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame?

(Such a love must leave)
