What a Pity

She was just a girl from the neighborhood back then
She lived down the street from my mama's house on ten
You see her name I could never pronounce
I always stuttered just to look at her mouth
Tip of her tongue I can taste her laugh
The one that got away (the one that got away)

What a pity she turned out to be the same
Here to climb up, oh, she did it for the fame
What a pity what I would've gave
'Cause she was my favorite (my favorite)
What a pity she turned out to be the same
Here to climb up, oh, she did it for the fame
What a pity what I would've gave
'Cause she was my favorite (she was my favorite)

What you gonna do, gonna do?
You can't save them all
Gonna do, gonna do?
You can't save them all
What you gonna prove?
'Cause you ain't no savior anyway
(Anyway, anyway)

She had the whitest teeth, when she'd smile it'd ruin your day (oh, no)
The bounce in the stairs that shook me where you stayed
What's her name? I could never pronounce (never pronounce)
Stuttered to shed a light on all of my doubts (oh)
Tip of her tongue I can taste her laugh
The one that got away (she got away)

What a pity she turned out to be the same
Here to climb up, oh, she did it for the fame
What a pity what I would've gave
'Cause she was my favorite (she was my favorite)
What a pity she turned out to be the same (oh, what a pity)
Here to climb up, oh, she did it for the fame (she did it for the fame)
What a pity what I would've gave
'Cause she was my favorite (she was my favorite)

What you gonna do, gonna do?
You can't save them all (save them all)
Gonna do, gonna do?
You can't save them all
What you gonna prove?
'Cause you ain't no savior anyway (you ain't no savior anyway)
What you gonna do, gonna do?
You can't save them all
Gonna do, gonna do?
You can't save them all
What you gonna prove?
'Cause you ain't no savior anyway (you ain't no savior, oh)

What a pity (what a pity)
What a pity
What a pity
What a pity
Damn, I really liked you (la-da-di-da)
What a pity (la-da-di-da-da-da, la-da-di-da)
Oh, oh (la-da-di-da-da-da, la-da-di-da)
