Oh The Shame Lyrics

Reuben Oh The Shame

Staring you out
And wearing you down
Yeah it's over now
We can talk about it

The smile in my eyes
Is a simple disguise
I have practised now
Finding my way around
The things that I've done
And who I've become

And oh the shame

I lie and I cheat
And I've turned down my dreams
Because I was too afraid

I wish that somehow
I could see now
All the faces I've betrayed

To women in skin
All of my love
Oh this isn't something I usually do
Or that I'm proud of

I don't play enough
I'm taking the blame
And oh the shame
Oh the shame

Oh my god!

There it is
There it is
I said it
I said it
Yeah

(laugh)

It's just like wetting the bed
Shaving my head
And oh the shame...
