Isn't It A Shame Lyrics - Patti Labelle

How is it that two people 

Who laughed together and loved together 

Sometimes end up far apart? 

(Tell me how is it?) 

And how is it that two people 

Who cry together, wanna die together 

Sometimes end up with a broken heart? 

Isn't it a shame 

(Isn't it a shame, my friend) 

Sometimes such a love? 

(Sometimes such a love such as this must end) 

Isn't it a shame 

(Isn't it a shame, you have to laugh before you cry) 

And how is it that two people 

Who cling together wanna dream, dream together 

(Cling together wanna have a little dream together) 

Oh, they end up alone? 

(Tell me how is it?) 

And how is it that two people 

Who plan together, make a little life together 

Sometimes end up along that road? 

Isn't it a shame? 

(Isn't it a shame, my friend?) 

Sometimes such a love 

(Love must end) 

Isn't it a shame? 

(You have to laugh before you) 

Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave? 

Isn't it a shame? 

Sometimes such a love 

Isn't it a shame? 

Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave? 

Isn't it a shame? 

Sometimes such a love 

Isn't it a shame?
