Lyrics Shamed Into Love - Anne Sofie von Otter, Elvis Costello, Bebe Risenfors

Shamed Into Love

I fear, my dear
Weve 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 Im desperate
While youre wiping the smile from your face
Am I surrendering, or am I replaced?
Must we be shamed into love?
Shamed into love
Youre once a fool for having it Twice for letting it go Somewhere, my love, theres a feeling deep inside of me That I cant let go Oh, youll never know
But then, my darling
Ive forbidden myself to confess
Ive 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?
