Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me That has very far to fall You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much Control over me Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own Yes I made myself a world And it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless, shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now But I don't want it anyhow So I've got to let it go I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know I am shameless Shameless Shameless
