Lyrics The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs

Ashamed

A person does things for no reason

Because a reason is to survive

So since there's no reason to survive

A person should do nothing, oh

But you feel that you should do something

Because you only have this one life

So you talk with the other people

But you can never do it right

So you're ashamed

On the ballroom floor, she's ashamed

She can't take it anymore

I'm ashamed because I said something

Something I did not mean

When a little brother and sister

Make it with each other

And the family lose their minds

Well, don't you think they have no right?

Because little Tom and Jane wanna do something

They only have this one life

So they make it with each other

Just to make it through the night

They're not ashamed

On the ballroom floor, ashamed

Can't take it anymore

Ashamed 'cause they did something

Something they really mean

She was older now, so the memories came flooding back

And she threw up all of that cognac

She knew that she loved no other

And she knew that she had the right

The right to love and to be loved in one's life

The right to feel his body hold her tight

I love him, I love him

No longer would she fight, surrender to the night

And I am not ashamed

On the ballroom floor, ashamed

I just can't take it anymore

I'm ashamed because I said something

Always doing something

I really didn't mean to
