Lyrics Ain't It a Shame (Outtake from "If I Should Love Again") - Barry Manilow
I
used
to
contemplate
and
wonder
Just
how
good
love
could
be
And
we
were
doin'
great
for
a
while
Bein'
just
you
and
me
Oh,
ain't
it
a
shame
When
it
don't
come
'round
no
more?
Oh,
ain't
it
a
shame
When
it
don't
feel
like
it
felt
before?
You
got
no
one
to
blame
For
this
heart
breaker
Ain't
it
a
shame?
We
can't
investigate
our
souls
Till
we're
out
of
our
minds
But
it's
gettin'
late
And
God
knows
what
we'd
even
find
Oh,
ain't
it
a
shame
When
it
don't
come
'round
no
more?
Oh,
ain't
it
a
shame
When
it
don't
feel
like
it
felt
before?
You
got
no
one
to
blame
For
this
heart
breaker
Ain't
it
a
shame?
We
had
a
good
thing
Thought
we
were
the
best
of
friends
Seems
we
were
just
a
fling
Even
this
story
has
an
end
Oh,
ain't
it
a
shame?
We
can't
procrastinate
And
hold
on
to
the
love
that
we
had
But
when
the
feelin's
good,
it's
good
When
it's
bad,
it's
bad
Oh,
ain't
it
a
shame
When
it
don't
come
'round
no
more?
Oh,
ain't
it
a
shame
When
it
don't
feel
like
it
felt
before?
I
could
call
out
your
name
but
it's
over
now
Ain't
it
a
shame?
I
could
call
out
your
name
but
it's
over
now
Ain't
it
a
shame?
