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 leave?)
|
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
|
(Sometimes such a love such as this is must leave)
|
|
Isn't it a shame?
|
(Baby, you have to laugh before you)
|
Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave?
|
(You'll have to laugh before you cry)
|
|
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?
|
You have to laugh before you cry
|
|
Baby, look, shame
|
Oh, you gotta 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
|
(You have to laugh before you cry, cry, cry)
|
Isn't it a shame that such a love must leave, woah?
|
|
Isn't it a shame, my friend
|
Sometimes such a love?
|
Isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame
|
That such a love must leave, woah?
|
|
And how is it that two people
|
Who live together, dream, dream together
|
Sometimes end up all alone?
|
(Tell me how is it?)
|
|
I said how is it again that two people
|
Cling together, dream, dream together
|
(Cling together, wanna build a little dream together)
|
Sometimes end up all alone?
|
|
Isn't it a shame, my friend
|
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, 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?
|
(Such a love must leave)
