Remember back in school we learned the golden rule
Do unto others as you´d have done to you
You´re supposed to love me as much as I love you

It´s a shame that isn´t the way it is

Lovers in a movie on that great big screen
He treats her like she´s a queen, she treats him like a king
Wouldn´t that be nice if life is lived that way

It´s a shame that isn´t the way it is

I´d like to start each morning with good morning dear
And end each night with the goodnight kiss
But all I have is your memory with me laying here

It´s a shame that isn´t the way it is

A love song tells a story of a good love going bad

Then paints a pretty pictures of that same love coming back
I wish that I could sing it, I wish that I could paint it

It´s a shame that isn´t the way it is
It´s a shame that isn´t the way it is
