AIN'T IT A SHAME

AIN'T IT A SHAME THAT WE CAN'T BE,
THE WAY WERE BACK THEN.
NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO EVER START AGAIN.
NOTHIN' CAN SAVE A CANDLE GLOW,
ONCE IT'S LOST THE FLAME.
WE USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER, AIN'T IT A SHAME.

IT USED TO BE SO EASY,
YOU AND I IN LOVE.
HAPPINESS WAS ONE THING,
WE HAD PLENTY OF.
LONG BEFORE THE HEARTACHES,
JUST BEFORE THE TEARS.
NOW THERE'S ONLY MEMORIES,
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

AIN'T IT A SHAME THAT WE CAN'T BE,
THE WAY WERE BACK THEN.
NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO EVER START AGAIN.
NOTHIN' CAN SAVE A CANDLE GLOW,
ONCE IT'S LOST THE FLAME.
WE USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER, AIN'T IT A SHAME.

NOW WE GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS,
OF PLAYIN' MARRIED LIFE.
NEITHER OF US FEELIN' LIKE,
HUSBAND AND WIFE.
EVERYONE WHO KNOWS US,
THINKS WE'VE GOT IT ALL.
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW YOUR BEDROOM'S,
HALF WAY DOWN THE HALL.

AIN'T IT A SHAME THAT WE CAN'T BE,
THE WAY WERE BACK THEN.
NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO EVER START AGAIN.
NOTHIN' CAN SAVE A CANDLE GLOW,
ONCE IT'S LOST THE FLAME.
WE USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER, AIN'T IT A SHAME.

OH OH, AIN'T IT A SHAME THAT WE CAN'T BE,
THE WAY WERE BACK THEN.
NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO EVER START AGAIN.
NOTHIN' CAN SAVE A CANDLE GLOW,
ONCE IT'S LOST THE FLAME.
WE USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER, AIN'T IT A SHAME.
WE USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER, AIN'T IT A SHAME.
AIN'T IT A SHAME. AIN'T IT A SHAME.
AIN'T IT A SHAME. AIN'T IT A SHAME..
