Texty: Nina Simone. Isn't It a Pity.

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 a note of 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 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 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
The beauty that surrounds them
It's a pity

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
