"Ashamed" 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 never do it right, woah

[Chorus:]
So you're ashamed
On the barroom floor, she's ashamed
She can't take it anymore
I'm ashamed 'cause I said something
Oh, 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? Woah
Because (Ooh)
Little Tom and Jane wanna do something (Ah)
They only have this one life
So they make it with each other
Just to make it through the night, oh

[Chorus:]
They're not ashamed
On the barroom floor, ashamed
Can't take it anymore
Ashamed 'cause they did something
Oh, something they really mean

She was older now
So the memories came flooding back
Then she threw up all of that cognac
She knew that she loved no other
And she knew that she had the right, woah
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

[Chorus:]
And I am not ashamed
On the barroom floor, ashamed
I just can't take it anymore, I'm ashamed
Because I said something
Always doing something
Oh, do I mean, I really didn't mean to

[Outro:]
Oh, oh
Oh
