Isn’t It a Pity Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Isn′t it a pity?
Now, isn't it a shame
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
Oh, oh, isn't it a pity?


Some things take so long
But how can I explain
When not too very many people can see we′re all the same?
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can′t hope to see all the beauty that surrounds them
Oh, oh, oh, I need a pity

Isn't it a pity?
Y′all, ain't it a shame
How we break each other′s hearts
And cause each other pain?
We keep taking each other's love without thinking, no more
Forgetting to give back
Oh, oh, oh, oh, isn′t it a pity
Forgetting to give back?
Ain't it a pity?

We keep taking each other's love
Love, love, love
Ain′t it a pity?
