(Verse One)

I’m walking down the street

I’m just living as me

Then I’m greeted with their ignorance

They say they disagree

I’m living life

Why are you mad?

I’m living life

Why are you mad?

And they all try to provoke me

But I don’t have the time

They don’t want my two cents

They’re just a dozen of dimes

I’m living life

Why are you mad?

I’m living life

Why are you mad?

(Pre Chorus)

In a perfect world without scrutiny

They’d keep to themselves, spare the crudity

They shout their criticism brutally

Brush it off, uneducated lunacy

Because their efforts end uselessly

I walk my walk and do it beautifully

Live authentically and live truthfully

Find the ones like me, form a unity

(Chorus)

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

You can’t take from me

Cuz baby I’m shameless

(Post Chorus)

There’s not an ounce of shame

In the way I live

In all the things I do

In all the love I give

And if you’re upset

That burden falls on you

I’d hate to live there

In your point of view

There’s not an ounce of doubt

Cuz I know who I am

I live ruthlessly

And couldn’t give a damn

If you’re upset

That burden falls on you

I’m a kaleidoscope

And you’re stuck in you blues

(Verse Two)

I’m not ashamed

Of who or what I do

Cuz I’m living my life

And I make up the rules

I’m having fun

You can stay mad

I’m having fun

You can stay mad

They can’t get my mind

Won’t entertain their doubts

I go against the grain

I’ll never shut my mouth

I’m having fun

You can stay mad

I’m having fun

You can stay mad

(Pre Chorus)

In a perfect world without scrutiny

They’d keep to themselves, spare the crudity

They shout their criticism brutally

Brush it off, uneducated lunacy

Because their efforts end uselessly

I walk my walk and do it beautifully

Live authentically and live truthfully

Find the ones like me, form a unity

(Chorus)

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

You can’t take from me

Cuz baby I’m shameless

(Post Chorus)

There’s not an ounce of shame

In the way I live

In all the things I do

In all the love I give

And if you’re upset

That burden falls on you

I’d hate to live there

In your point of view

There’s not an ounce of doubt

Cuz I know who I am

I live ruthlessly

And couldn’t give a damn

If you’re upset

That burden falls on you

I’m a kaleidoscope

And you’re stuck in you blues

(Bridge)

The things you hate

Are often based in fear

You can’t get rid of me

You know I’m still here

You’ll have to deal with it

Cuz I refuse to leave

I love who I am

And I love feeling free

They’ll pitch a fit

On how I breathe my air

I’ve been a rectangle

In a world of squares

They think it bothers me

I can’t pretend to care

So take several seats

Go ‘head and get the chairs

(Post Chorus)

There’s not an ounce of shame

In the way I live

In all the things I do

In all the love I give

And if you’re upset

That burden falls on you

I’d hate to live there

In your point of view

There’s not an ounce of doubt

Cuz I know who I am

I live ruthlessly

And couldn’t give a damn

If you’re upset

That burden falls on you

I’m a kaleidoscope

And you’re stuck in you blues

(Outro)

Take away the shame

Baby, I’m shameless

Take away the shame

Baby, I’m shameless

Take away the shame

Baby, I’m shameless

Take away the shame

Take away the shame

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

Take away the shame

T-take away the shame

Take away the shame

Ta-take away the shame

You can't take from me

Cuz baby, I’m shameless
