It's a Pity The things you say about me It's a Pity What you say about yourself It's a Pity That we can't talk this over It's a Pity That we can't work this out It's a Pity The way that men treat women It's a Pity The way men treat themselves It's a Pity The walls we build between us It's a Pity We build them higher still It's a Pity The way you treat your husband It's a Pity The way you treat your wife It's a Pity The way we treat our children It's a Pity To waste a single life Once we thought we were. Once when we were young Maybe we've wasted all the good years Or maybe the best are yet to come Now I have nothing left to offer And so I offer you this song And maybe the chance for a reunion And maybe a chance to get along And maybe a chance to live together And maybe a chance to get along
