Lyrics for Ain't It A Shame
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.
