"Ain't It A Shame" lyrics

"Ain't It A Shame"

My skin is smooth, my hair is blonde
And I am tan
On a blanket with my friends
In the sand

Ain't it a shame
When you wanna die on a beach in the sun?
Not a cloud in the sky
And that's just not how dying's done
Ain't it a shame
When you're young

I am welcome, I am loved
And I am free
But I have reached for something
I can't keep

Ain't it a shame
When you wanna die on a beach in the sun?
Not a cloud in the sky
And that's just not how dying's done
Ain't it a shame
When you're young

Ain't it a shame
When you wanna die on a beach in the sun?
Not a cloud in the sky
And that's just not how dying's done

It's not how dyin's done
Ain't it a shame
When you're young
