Isn't it a pity
 You don't know what I'm talking about yet
 But I'm gonna tell you soon
 It's a pity
 Isn't it a pity
 Isn't it a shame
 Yes, how we break each other's hearts
 And cause each other pain
 How we take each other's love
 Without thinking anymore
 Forgetting to give back
 Forgetting to remember
 Just forgetting and no thank you
 Isn't it a pity
 Some things take so long
 But how do I explain
 Why not too many people can see
 That we are all just the same
 We're all guilty
 Because of all the tears
 Our eyes just can't hope to see
 But I don't think it's applicable to me
 The beauty that surrounds them
 Child, isn't it a pity
 How we break each other's hearts
 And cause each other pain
 How we take each other's love
 The most precious thing
 Without thinking anymore
 Forgetting to give back
 Forgetting to keep open our door
 Isn't it a pity
 Isn't it a pity
 Some things take so long
 But how do I explain
 Isn't it a pity
 Why not too many people
 Can see we're all the same
 Because we cry so much
 Our eyes can't, can't hope to see
 That's not quite true
 The beauty that surrounds them
 Maybe that's why we cry
 God, isn't it a pity
 Lord knows it's a pity
 Mankind has been so programmed
 That they don't care about nothin'
 That has to do with care
 C-A-R-E
 How we take each other's love
 The most precious thing
 Without thinking anymore
 Forgetting to give back
 Forgetting to keep open the door
 But I understand some things take so long
 But how do I explain
 Why not too many people
 Can see we're just the same
 And because of all their tears
 Their eyes can't hope to see
 The beauty that surrounds them
 God, isn't it a pity
 The beauty that surrounds them
 It's a pity
 We take each other's love
 Just take it for granted
 While not thinking anymore
 We give each other pain
 And we shut every door
 We take each other's minds
 And we're capable to take each other's souls
 We do it every day
 Just to reach some financial goal
 Lord, isn't it a pity, my God
 Isn't it a pity, my God
 And so unnecessary
 Just a little time, a little care
 A little note written in the air
 Just the little thank you
 We just forget to give back
 'Cause we're moving too fast
 Moving too fast
 Forgetting to give back
 But some things take so long
 And I cannot explain
 The beauty that surrounds us
 And we don't see it
 We think things are just the same
 We've been programmed that way
 Isn't it a pity
 If you want to feel sorry
 Isn't it a pity
 Isn't it a pity
 The beauty sets the beauty that surrounds us
 Because of all our tears
 Our eyes can't hope to see
 Maybe one day at least I'll see me
 And just concentrate on givin', givin', givin', givin'
 And 'til that day
 Mankind don't stand a chance
 Don't know nothin' about romance
 Everything is plastic
 Isn't it a pity
 My God
 
 Isn't it a pity
 You don't know what I'm talking about yet
 But I'm gonna tell you soon
 It's a pity
 Isn't it a pity
 Isn't it a shame
 Yes, how we break each other's hearts
 And cause each other pain
 How we take each other's love
 Without thinking anymore
 Forgetting to give back
 Forgetting to remember
 Just forgetting and no thank you
 Isn't it a pity
 Some things take so long
 But how do I explain
 Why not too many people can see
 That we are all just the same
 We're all guilty

 Forgetting to keep open our door
