(Written by Elvis CostelloSubmitted by Craig Ciccone)

I fearmy 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 surrenderingor am I replaced?
Must we be shamed into love?

Shamed into love
You re once a fool for having it
Twice for letting it go
Somewheremy lovethere s a feeling deep inside of me
That I can t let go
Ohyou ll never know

But thenmy 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 cursedI bless
It must be you who shamed me into love

Must we be shamed into love?
