[Verse 1]
It's a shame the rules change, not the game
Such a shame it's the same
Now everything's in vain
All in vain, it's such a shame
Could it be true that there's nothing left to do
For me and you? Can't be true
We all can't be such fools
Could life be so cruel?
Could life be so cruel?

[Chorus]
Maybe I don't even try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why
We're on the same line, and we're fallin' behind on life?

[Verse 2]
Life is great, I'm walking in the sun and everything is cool
Yeah, it's true, there's so much we can do
It feels so right, yeah, it's all right

[Chorus]
Maybe I don't even try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why?
Baby, I don't even wanna try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why we're on the same line
And we're fallin' behind, fallin' behind on life?
Oh, it's a shame
It's a shame
Oh, it's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
Such a shame
It's a shame
