Shame / Free Love

[Part I: "Shame"]

[Intro]
You know, they always tell you to write about what you know
So this is an old song called "Shame"
It goes like this

[Chorus]
I felt bad and there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
But I felt bad and I keep trying to kid myself about it
Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake
It's my shame
This is my shame
I felt bad but I keep trying to kid myself about it, yeah
Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake
I felt bad but what's done is done
Just one thing remains
This is my shame
This is my shame

[Bridge]
I know you're mad at me
I know you wanna cut my throat
I know you think I think it's all a joke
I don't, no
I don't
Hey

[Chorus]
I felt bad and there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I felt bad and I keep trying to kid mysеlf about it
Try to tell myself it was an honest mistakе
When I woke up I thought
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be okay then it hit me
Like a wave
Yeah, it hit me
Like a wave
This is my shame
This is my shame
This is my shame

[Part II: "Free Love"]

[Verse]
Free love, free love
What is it?
Free love
Can I get some?
Normally love costs a bundle and plenty of trouble
But you fooled me, you fooled me
You ran away to Italy
With your psychiatrist
Who's now a scientologist

[Chorus]
Free love
Don't bank on it, baby
Don't bank on it, no
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it, oh
Don't bank on it, baby
Free love

[Bridge]
So the next time someone offers you free love
Next time someone offers you free love
You know what to do
You better run for help
Run for shelter
Run for the nearest arms of a complete stranger
Run for a downtown lounge in the afternoon
Or the open arms of an unknown tomorrow
And you know why, you know why
Because love
Love is expensive

[Chorus]
Free love
Don't bank on it, baby
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it, oh
Don't bank on it, baby
Free love

[Spoken Outro]
Thank you and good night, everybody
