(elvis costello/ruben blades)
i fear, my dear
we've forgotten the things strangers do
if we could look back
to the terrible thrill that we knew
am i imagining a world without you?
must we be shamed into love?
what can i say?
will you pardon my stupid embrace?
sometimes i'm desperate
while you're wiping the smile from your face
am i surrendering, or am i replaced?
must we be shamed into love?
shamed into love
you're once a fool for having it
twice a fool for letting it go
somewhere my love there's a feeling deep inside of me
that i can't let go
oh you'll never know
but then my darling
i've forbidden myself to confess
i've looked around now
but i always return to your face
in a world where everything
i once cursed, i bless
it must be you who shamed me into love
must we be shamed into love? |
