lyrics

The Shame I Feel

You gotta help me with my past
I got a problem and I think it's gonna last
I can't shake it cause I know it's real
you gotta help me with the shame I feel

Looking for love in the U.S.A.
playing those games down on old Broadway
I take what I can and what I can't I steal
you gotta help me with the shame I feel

It's got me running
It's got me hiding
It's got me all over town
I'm in panic
I'm transatlantic
but it keeps hunting me down...

I want you people to love my ass
get down on your knees and give me a bath
take me back to your place and buy me a meal
I can't help it 'bout the shame I feel

I love you baby, oh you're so tender to me
take me in your arms and end this misery
nothing is wrong if nothing is real
you gotta help me with the shame I feel

It's got me running
It's got me hiding
It's got me all over town
I'm in panic
I'm transatlantic
but it keeps hunting me down...

Breakfast in bed and tea for two
I'm so guilty think I'll marry you
I'm sure that we can work out some kind of deal
you gotta help me with the shame I feel

Oh honey, I'm a guilty man
just trying to do all the best he can
but it's my guilt that gives me that sex appeal
you gotta help me with the shame I feel

you gotta help me with the shame I feel

you gotta help me with the shame I feel

you gotta help me with the shame

I feel
