Ain’t It a Shame Songtext
von Ashford & Simpson

Ain′t it a shame?
Can't give it a name?
The moment you do
It flees from you

Ain′t it a shame?
Can't give it a name?
The moment you do
It flees from you

Why should I analyze?
It's what I feel inside
There′s really nothing to know
Let′s go enjoy the ride
And if I'm holding you hand
What is there to understand
There is no reasoning for what we feel
You, you just worry about being for real

Most of the time
We want things to rhyme
But there is something not imagined by the mind


Ain′t it a shame?
Can't give it a name?
The moment you do
It flees from you

Ain′t it a shame?
Can't give it a name?
The moment you do
It flees from you

I better leave it alone
You might get it wrong
You′re gonna be surprised
You can speak with your eyes
The very moment you're sure
You're back again crawling on the floor
And that′s the wall you will bump up against
The question is, is it fate or is it chance?

But if you got to know and if you insist
It will vanish like the will of the wisp

Ain′t it a shame?
Can't give it a name?
The moment you do
It flees from you.
