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?
