Great White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't no line, ain't no lyin' to love
Ain't no crime, Lord there ain't no cryin' to love
Yeah to love
Well you say your sick and tired of being lonely
And you say you've had enough of sympathy
And you find there's no one there to share your midnights
Well that just ain't the way it ought to be
And it ain't no shame

Ain't no shame to be loved
And you better believe it, 'cause when you're there
There's nothing else you'd ever want to do

Ain't no shame to be loved, can't you hear me
Look inside your heart'll tell you true
All my love belongs to you

To walk the path, the path of life alone, so alone
A single light in an empty sky, so alone
When it seems there's no one there to lend a shoulder
And your nights are cold and filled with misery
Well it's time you took a look a little closer
'Cause that's just ain't the way it ought to be
No, ain't no shame

Well you say you're sick and tired of being lonely
And your nights are cold and filled with misery
Well it's time you took a look a little closer, a little closer
'Cause that's just ain't the way it ought to be
No, ain't no shame

Ain't no shame to be loved
And you'd better believe it cause when you're there
There's nothing else you'd ever want to do
Ain't no shame to be loved
All my love belongs to you




Ain't no shame to be loved
Ain't no shame to be loved

Overall Meaning

The song "Ain't No Shame" by Great White is a powerful anthem about the importance of love and companionship in life, and the damaging effects of loneliness and despair. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace love without shame or fear, and to seek out the company of others rather than suffer in isolation.


The first verse lays out the central theme of the song, proclaiming that there is no deceit or sorrow in love. The chorus reinforces this message, urging listeners to believe in the power of love and to pursue it without hesitation. The second verse focuses on the pain of loneliness and the need for human connection, while the final chorus repeats the earlier refrain with even greater urgency.


The lyrics are supported by an anthemic rock sound, with driving guitar riffs and a pounding rhythm section that reinforce the song's message of strength and resilience. The song is a testament to the enduring popularity of Great White as a hard rock band that has successfully blended classic rock and heavy metal into a unique and enduring sound.


Line by Line Meaning

Ain't no line, ain't no lyin' to love
You don't need to pretend or hide anything when it comes to love


Ain't no crime, Lord there ain't no cryin' to love
Love shouldn't make you feel guilty or sad


Well you say your sick and tired of being lonely
You express your desire for companionship


And you say you've had enough of sympathy
You feel like people's pity isn't enough and want to be truly loved


And you find there's no one there to share your midnights
You feel like you're alone when you need someone the most


Well that just ain't the way it ought to be
You believe that love is necessary and should fill the void


And it ain't no shame
There's no need to feel guilty or embarrassed about wanting love


Ain't no shame to be loved
Loving and being loved is natural and shouldn't be stigmatized


And you better believe it, 'cause when you're there / There's nothing else you'd ever want to do
When you experience true love, you'll feel fulfilled and complete


Look inside your heart'll tell you true / All my love belongs to you
Your heart will guide you to the right person for you, and once you find them, all of your love will be dedicated to them


To walk the path, the path of life alone, so alone / A single light in an empty sky, so alone
Walking through life alone can feel like a lonely and desolate journey


When it seems there's no one there to lend a shoulder / And your nights are cold and filled with misery
When you have no one to turn to during rough times, it can make you feel even more alone


Well it's time you took a look a little closer / 'Cause that's just ain't the way it ought to be
You should reevaluate your life and realize that you deserve love and companionship


Ain't no shame to be loved
Love is a beautiful and necessary thing that shouldn't be shunned


All my love belongs to you
Once you find the right person, all of your love and dedication will be focused on them


Ain't no shame to be loved / Ain't no shame to be loved
Reinforcing the idea that love is natural and nothing to be ashamed of
