  • Well I'm shameless
    When it comes to loving you
    I'll do anything you want me to
    I'll do anything at all

    And I'm standing
    Here for all the world to see,
    Oh, baby that's what's left of me
    I don't have very far to fall

    You know now I'm not a man who's 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
    Honey, I don't have a prayer
    Every time I see you standing there
    I go down upon my knees

    And I'm changing,
    Swore I'd never compromise
    Oh, but you convinced me otherwise
    I'll do anything you need

    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 had anything have this much control on me
    I've worked too hard to call my life my own
    And I've made myself a world, and it's worked so perfectly
    But it sure won't now, I can't refuse
    I've never had so much to lose
    And I'm 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
    I don't want it anyhow
    So I gotta let it go

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

    I just wanted you to know
    Oh I'm shameless

    I'm down on my knees
    Shameless

  • Bill from TexasHow nice
  • Whitneyelliott5 from Kingsport TnInstead of "I'll do anything you need" in the chorus it's actually "I'll do anything you please". ;)
  • Sharkdb from Rt 80, Central Panot my favorite from Joel’s album, but I like Brooks’ rendition
