(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?
