Shamed Into Love Testo

(feat. Bill Frisell)



(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?
