Shameless Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Shameless Lyrics

    i cannot name this
    i cannot explain this
    and i really don't want to
    just call me shameless
    i can't even slow this down
    let alone stop this
    and i keep looking around
    but i cannot top this

    if i had any sense
    i guess i'd fear this
    i guess i'd keep it down
    so no one would hear this
    i guess i'd shut my mouth
    and rethink a minute
    but i can't shut it now
    'cuz there's something in it

    we're in a room without a door
    and i am sure without a doubt
    they're gonna wanna know
    how we got in here
    and they're gonna wanna know
    how we plan to get out
    we better have a good explanation
    for all the fun that we had
    'cuz they are coming for us, baby
    they are going to be mad
    they are going to be mad at us

    this is my skeleton
    this is the skin it's in
    that is, according to light
    and gravity
    i'll take off my disguise
    the mask you met me in
    'cuz i got something
    for you to see
    just gimme your skeleton
    give me the skin it's in
    yeah baby, this is you
    according to me
    i never avert my eyes
    i never compromise
    so nevermind
    the poetry

    we're in a room without a door...

    i gotta cover my butt 'cuz i covet
    another man's wife
    i got to divide my emotions
    between wrong and right
    then i get to see how close i can get to it
    without giving in
    then i get to rub up against it
    till i break the skin
    rub up against it
    till i break the skin

    they're gonna be mad at us
    they're gonna be mad at me and you
    yeah, they're gonna be mad at us
    and all the things we wanna do
    they're gonna be mad at us
    they're gonna be mad at me and you
    they're gonna be mad at us
    and all the things we like do

    just please don't name this
    please don't explain this
    just blame it all on me
    say i was shameless
    say i couldn't slow it down
    let alone stop it
    and say you just hung around
    'cuz you couldn't top it
