ABOUT “SHAME ON US”
“Shame on Us” steps inside the dangerous territory of an affair — two people who know exactly where the line is and choose to cross it anyway. There’s temptation, secrecy and guilt, but neither one gets to pretend they’re innocent when the consequences arrive. What begins as attraction becomes a shared betrayal, with other hearts potentially paying the price. Because when two people knowingly make the same bad choice, there’s plenty of blame to go around. It’s no longer simply “shame on you.” It’s “shame on us.”
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looking over my shoulder
This guilt it tears me apart
Oh the soul feels colder
Knowing we can't stop love
[Pre-Chorus]
Temptation grows in your eyes
I never asked you to compromise
Is there hope in our alibis
As we make love on this bed of lies!
[Chorus]
Shame on me, Shame on you
The two of us, we don't know what to do
We can't live together, no we can't live apart
Because the two of us...
Share one broken heart
(Oh yes we do)
[Verse 2]
Things I shouldn't tell you
Things we shouldn't say
Rescue me from reality
In your arms I will stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh I'm lost in your eyes
I never asked you to compromise
Is there hope in our alibis
As we make love on this bed of lies
[Chorus]
Shame on me, Shame on you
The two of us, we don't know what to do
No we can't live together, no we can't live apart
Because the two of us
Share one broken heart!
[Instrumental]
[Pre- Chorus]
Ooh I'm lost in your eyes
I never asked you to compromise
Is there hope in our alibis
As we make love on this bed of lies
Shame on me, Shame on me
Shame on you, Shame on you
Shame on me, Shame on me
Shame on you,
Cause we don't know what to do!
[Chorus]
Shame on me, Shame on you
The two of us, we don't know what to do
We can't live together, no we can't live apart
Because the two of us...
Share one broken heart
(Oh yes we do)
[Outro]
Shame on Us!
