Shameless – English Lyrics

• By: The Weeknd
• Album: Beauty Behind The Madness

Lyrics & Translation

Learn English through 'Shameless,' a dark, acoustic R&B ballad that's one of The Weeknd's most vulnerable deep cuts. Its lyrical themes of toxic relationships, self-loathing, and emotional manipulation offer rich, complex vocabulary for discussing adult emotional drama and morality, going beyond simple romance to explore complex interpersonal conflict. The song's slower, soulful pace also makes The Weeknd's signature falsetto and introspective lyrics clearer to comprehend.

[English]

Uh, uh, yeah

Say it louder, say it louder

Who's gonna love you like me, like me?

Say it louder, say it louder

Who's gonna touch you like me, like me?

Ooh, said you wanna be good, but you couldn't keep your composure

Ooh, said you wanna be good, but you're begging me to come over

Ooh, come over

Ooh, saying who's gonna fuck you like me? Yeah

I don't wanna hurt you, but you live for the pain

I'm not tryna say it, but it's what you became

You want me to fix you, but it's never enough

That's why you always call me, 'cause you're scared to be loved

But I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you, girl

I have no shame (shame)

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you, girl

I have no shame (shame)

Say it louder, say it louder, yeah

Who's gonna love you like me, like me? Yeah

Say it louder, say it louder

Who's gonna touch you like me, like me?

Ooh, said it'd be the last time, all you needed was a little closure

Ooh, said it'd be the last time, but you're begging me to come over

Ooh, come over

Ooh, saying who's gonna fuck you like me? Hey

I don't wanna hurt you, but you live for the pain

I'm not tryna say it, but it's what you became

You want me to fix you, but it's never enough

That's why you always call me, 'cause you're scared to be loved

But I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you, girl

I have no shame (shame)

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you, girl

I have no shame (shame)

Who's gonna fuck you like (hey)

Oh-ooh

I don't wanna hurt you, but you live for the pain

I'm not tryna say it, but it's what you became (oh)

You want me to fix you, but it's never enough

That's why you always call me, 'cause you're scared to be loved

(Scared to be loved)
