I'd Be Ashamed
Love's Deception Unveiled
Lyrics
Well I picked up the phone to give you a call
Initiating a call to the person
Let it ring but no one answered at all
No response to the phone call
I guess you were out with someone new
Suspecting the person was with someone else
Did you forget I had a date with you
Reminding the person of a prior date
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed
Expressing the feeling of shame if the situation were reversed
You're a little heartbreaker and you seem proud of it
Describing the person as a heartbreaker
Breaking hearts right left and you seem to just love it
Noting the pleasure the person takes in breaking hearts
Now don't you know it's not the same to do
Highlighting the difference in consequences
Don't you know it might happen to you
Warning about potential consequences for the person
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed
Reiterating the feeling of shame
Well I'd be ashamed for making me cry
Expressing shame for causing emotional pain
I'd be ashamed for telling all the lies
Feeling shame for being dishonest
But don't you know you can't play that game
Asserting the impossibility of playing deceptive games
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed
Repeating the sentiment of potential shame
You don't love me at all, you don't care if you show it
Acknowledging the person's lack of love and indifference
But I'm so much in love I don't care who knows it
Despite this, expressing deep love and not caring about others' opinions
You don't love me and it's plain to see
Pointing out the evident lack of love from the person
You're just a making a fool of me
Accusing the person of making a fool out of the speaker
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed
Reiterating the potential shame in the situation
Someday true love may come your way
Speculating about the possibility of true love in the future
But by then it might be a little too late
Warning that true love might come too late for the person
But they might leave you by yourself
Suggesting the person might end up alone
They might leave you settin' on the shelf
Anticipating the person being left without a partner
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed
Emphasizing the potential shame in that future scenario
Well I'd be ashamed
Repeating the theme of feeling ashamed
Ah ah ah oh yeah I'd be ashamed
Reiterating the strong sense of shame
