Shame Lyrics
[Verse]
In a perfect world
You're understanding, I'm not a perfect girl
I would drop my fears at the door
I would only bring myself and nothing more
And you let me be, a woman
And you let me be, a flawed woman
You would yearn to hear all about my past
What I've done, what I've did and why
Hear all my sick thoughts
And if I needed to, I could cry
And you would catch my tears
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, no, aye, no
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, to hide from themselves
[Chorus]
Shame
And I'm the one to blame
[Bridge]
You see right through me
You see through the smile
You see straight through me
You push past the lies, oh
You got it baby
Oh, oh, oh
In a perfect world
You're understanding, I'm not a perfect girl
I would drop my fears at the door
I would only bring myself and nothing more
And you let me be, a woman
And you let me be, a flawed woman
You would yearn to hear all about my past
What I've done, what I've did and why
Hear all my sick thoughts
And if I needed to, I could cry
And you would catch my tears
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, no, aye, no
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, to hide from themselves
[Chorus]
Shame
And I'm the one to blame
[Bridge]
You see right through me
You see through the smile
You see straight through me
You push past the lies, oh
You got it baby
Oh, oh, oh

Genius Annotation
In this song Summer Walker is describing her idea of a perfect man. Not physically describing his attire, but more importantly his mindset. She could be her broken self around him, she wouldn’t have to hide or disguise herself.
