Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
I'd do anything you want me to
I'd do anything at all

And I'm standing here for all the world to see
There ain't that much left of me
That has very far to fall

You know I'm not a man who has ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied

I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer
Anytime I see you standing there
I go down upon my knees

And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise
But you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you

I have never let anything have this much
Control over me
Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own
Yes I made myself a world
And it worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I never had so much to lose
I'm shameless, shameless

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I ever missed
But I've never been in love like this

It's out of my hands

I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
But I don't want it anyhow
So I've got to let it go

I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You can make a total fool of me
I just wanted you to know

I am shameless
Shameless
Shameless

    General Comment:even when you've been made a complete fool of by your lover again and again, you have no shame going back for more.

    General Comment:The first time I heard this song, I thought it was incredibly stupid, because I would have never let myself end up like this. About a year later, I heard it again, and it felt like I had written the lyrics myself. Strange how your thoughts can change about somethin, eh?

    General Comment:This is a great song- Billy should have released it as a single instead of giving Garth Brooks a #1 hit with it! lol This song is about a woman that he likes more than she probably likes him back (which of course gives her all the control). He doesn't like feeling out of control because he's used to having power in everything else in his life. He can usually control the outcome, but not with her. ("It's out of my hands.") But he decides that she is worth the risk.

    General Comment:This is one amazing song, to me its where you find that right girl and he would do anything at all to keep her. There is this girl that I like and I play the song when she is over, whether with her friends or alone, and I dont think she is picking up on it. hehe.
