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?
