I have to love
To keep from crying
Ain't that a shame

Ain't that a shame

I was down

And almost died
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame


Nobody knows
The trouble i've seen

The way you use my love
Is bout to run from me


And that's a shame
The way you do
Ain't that a shame


Now folks all think that
We're just swell, it's alright

It's alright

You're so good and

I'm so well, it's alright
It's alright


People, you talk
And it's such a lie
Funny how the people

Can be so blind

And i have to love

To keep from crying
Ain't that a shame


Nobody knows
The trouble i've seen
The way you use my love

Is bout to run from me

And that's a shame

The way you do
Ain't that a shame


Say ain't that a shame
Now ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
