isn't it lonely together

Singer:ray stevens

every day

it's easier to see

that you're gonna be a mother

so here we are

honeymoon

hotel room

married to each other

and the smile upon your trembling lips is brave

but it don't cover up those tears you've cried

and though i'm trying hard

all the emptiness i feel is just too big to hide

and we've got nothing in common but our name and our shame

and the blame for letting passion's foolish flame burn wild

and now we've got to cover up the fact with an act

to atone for our mistake and to protect the child

and we've agreed to try

to try and live a lie

but baby

i think it's all in vain

we're just not birds of a feather

isn't it lonely together?

and we've got nothing in common but our name and our shame

and the blame for letting passion's foolish flame burn wild

and now we've got to cover up the fact with an act

to atone for our mistake and to protect the child

and we've agreed to try

to try and live a lie

baby

i think it's all in vain

we're just not birds of a feather

isn't it lonely together?
