Lyrics:

This was one of the many songs Harrison wrote while with The Beatles. The song is a reflection about the decaying relationship between the group. Phil Spector used his “Wall of Sound” technique on this song.
Isn't it a pity?
Now, isn't it a shame?
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
Isn't it a pity?

Some things take so long
But how do I explain?
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity?


Isn't it a pity?
Isn't it a shame?
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
Isn't it a pity?

Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity?
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity?
