lyrics
I tied my hands behind my back
To see if I could do without
Much to everyone’s dismay
I didn’t tape my mouth
Cuz I’m a little obtuse
Considerably verbose
Charming, rich and beautiful
Well, I’m none of those
But I’m not ashamed
I’m not ashamed
I tied a brick around my leg
To see if I could float
Held my breath and took the plunge
And jumped in a lifeboat
Call it a stroke of luck
Call it what you will
Cool, calm and collected
Are none of my finest skills
But I’m not ashamed
I’m not ashamed
No, not this time
Don’t know where I’m going
Don’t like where I’ve been
Not sure where I fit in
Oh, or what’s my scene
But I’m not ashamed
I’m not ashamed
No, not this time
No, not this time
