Isn´t it a pity
You don´t know what I´m talking about yet
But i will 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
Without thinking anymore
We give each other pain
And we shut every door
We take each other´s minds
And we´re capable of 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 till that day
Mankind don´t stand a chance
Don´t know nothin´ about romance
Everything is plastic
Isn´t it a pity
My God.
