Why do I have to choose what you expect
If I don't want a war?
Is this a matter of choice at all?
Why do I need to lie if I don't want to close a door?
Ain't I worthy of a curtain call?

People talk too much
I think they need an occupation
Why don't they let me live on my own?
They say it sounds so old
Oh, I gotta smile and be patient
When I'm judged for the one I love
How do you choose the one to love?

Walk side by side
Only we know where we belong
Nothing to hide
Who's to say what is right or wrong?
We gotta be shameless
We gotta be shameless

Why do I need to hide
If I aim to respect you?
Do you know what respect means at all?
Why do things I do seem so much to affect you?
How can you be proud to think so small?

People talk too much
I think they need an occupation
Why don't they let me live on my own?
They say it sounds so old
Oh, I gotta smile and be patient
When I'm judged for the one I love
How do you choose the one to love?

Walk side by side
Only we know where we belong
Nothing to hide
Who's to say what is right or wrong?
We gotta be shameless
We gotta be shameless

Just tell me why
I shouldn't try
To make things right
Just ask yourself
Do you mean well
When you wish me hell?
