Ain't It A Shame

Rob Savoy
Mouton Music BMI

Once apon a time
My heart was in twined
With a sew so deep
I was walkin' blind
Danced under stars
And closed those bars
But the time spent alone
It proved to undone

Ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)
I take all the blame (ain't it a shame)
And all the love that has grown is now
Riddled with pain (ain't it a shame)
I'd sadly surrender (ain' it a shame)
To your game
Ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)

Now who's gonna care
When the other shoe drops
I refuse to believe
In something I'm not
Like a one sided coin
I'm tossed and I'm turned
This the fairy tales over
The lesson is learned

Oh but ain't it ashame(ain't it a shame)
I take all the blame (ain't it a shame)
And all the love that has grown is now
Riddled with pain (ain't it a shame)
I'd sadly surrender (ain' it a shame)
To your game
Ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)
Hey ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)

As the silence grows
And time rolls on
I can still see her face
In every song

Oh but ain't it a shame(ain't it a shame)
I take all the blame (ain't it a shame)
And all the love that has grown is now
Riddled in pain (ain't it a shame)
I'd sadly surrender (ain' it a shame)
To this game
Ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)

Shame a shame the way we play this game (ain't it a shame)
Living a life that is steeped in pain (ain't it a shame)
Taking all the care and all the blame (ain't it a shame)
Oh ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)
Yeah ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)
Yeah ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)
