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
verse 2
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
