Lyrics for Ain't It a Shame

My skin is smooth, my hair is blonde And I am tan On a blanket with my friends In the sand Ain't it a shame When you wanna die on a beach in the sun? Not a cloud in the sky And that's just not how dying's done Ain't it a shame When you're young I am welcome, I am loved And I am free But I have reached for something I can't keep Ain't it a shame When you wanna die on a beach in the sun? Not a cloud in the sky And that's just not how dying's done Ain't it a shame When you're young Ain't it a shame When you wanna die on a beach in the sun? Not a cloud in the sky And that's just not how dying's done It's not how dyin's done Ain't it a shame When you're young
