Elvis Costello — Shamed into Love

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?
