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
