Barry Manilow - Ain't It A Shame - Unreleased Outtake Lyrics

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?
