Lyric

Well I’m shamelessWhen it comes to loving youI’ll do anything you want me toI’ll do anything at all
And I’m standingHere for all the world to see,Oh, baby that’s what’s left of meI don’t have very far to fall
You know now I’m not a man who’s ever beenInsecure about the world I’ve been living inI don’t break easy, I have my prideBut if you need to be satisfied
I’m shamelessHoney, I don’t have a prayerEvery time I see you standing thereI go down upon my knees
And I’m changing,Swore I’d never compromiseOh, but you convinced me otherwiseI’ll do anything you need
You see in all my life I’ve never foundWhat I couldn’t resist, what I couldn’t turn downI could walk away from anyone I ever knewBut I can’t walk away from you
I have never had anything have this much control on meI’ve worked too hard to call my life my ownAnd I’ve made myself a world, and it’s worked so perfectlyBut it sure won’t now, I can’t refuseI’ve never had so much to loseAnd I’m shameless
You know it should be easy for a man who’s strongTo say he’s sorry or admit when he’s wrongI’ve never lost anything I ever missedBut I’ve never been in love like thisIt’s out of my hands
I’m shamelessI don’t have the power nowI don’t want it anyhowSo I gotta let it go
Oh I’m shamelessShameless as a man can beYou could make a total fool of meI just wanted you to knowThat I’m shameless
I just wanted you to knowOh I’m shameless
I’m down on my kneesShameless
You saidI feel shameless
