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
