isn't it a pity

you don't know what i'm talking about yet

but i will tell you soon

it's a pity



isn't it a pity

isn't it a shame

yes, how we break each other's hearts

and cause each other pain



how we take each other's love

without thinking anymore

forgetting to give back

forgetting to remember

just forgetting and no thank you

isn't it a pity



some things take so long

but how do i explain

why not too many people can see

that we are all just the same

we're all guilty



because of all the tears

our eyes just can't hope to see

but i don't think it's applicable to me

the beauty that surrounds them

child, isn't it a pity



how we break each other's hearts

and cause each other pain

how we take each other's love

the most precious thing

without thinking anymore



forgetting to give back

forgetting to keep open our door

isn't it a pity

isn't it a pity



some things take so long

but how do i explain

isn't it a pity

why not too many people

can see we're all the same



because we cry so much

our eyes can't, can't hope to see

that's not quite true

the beauty that surrounds them

maybe that's why we cry

God, isn't it a pity



Lord knows it's a pity

mankind has been so programmed

that they don't care about nothin'

that has to do with care

c-a-r-e



how we take each other's love

the most precious thing

without thinking anymore

forgetting to give back

forgetting to keep open the door



but i understand some things take so long

but how do i explain

why not too many people

can see we're just the same



and because of all their tears

their eyes can't hope to see

the beauty that surrounds them

God, isn't it a pity

the beauty that surrounds them

it's a pity



we take each other's love

just take it for granted

without thinking anymore

we give each other pain

and we shut every door



we take each other's minds

and we're capable of take each other's souls

we do it every day

just to reach some financial goal

Lord, isn't it a pity, my God

isn't it a pity, my God

and so unnecessary



just a little time, a little care

a little note written in the air

just the little thank you

we just forget to give back

cause we're moving too fast

moving too fast

forgetting to give back



but some things take so long

and i cannot explain

the beauty that surrounds us

and we don't see it

we think things are just the same

we've been programmed that way



isn't it a pity

if you want to feel sorry

isn't it a pity

isn't it a pity

the beauty sets the beauty that surrounds us

because of all our tears

our eyes can't hope to see



maybe one day at least i'll see me

and just concentrate on givin', givin', givin', givin'

and till that day

mankind don't stand a chance

don't know nothin' about romance

everything is plastic

isn't it a pity

my God.
