Walk of Shame
Jimmy Fallon feat. Dave Matthews Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up,
Rubbed my eyes,
Tried to remember
What the hell I did last night
This aint my bed
This aint my room
Had a crazy night
Now I know what I got to do

Walk of Shame [x4]

I got my drink on
I got my dance on
Now I'm walking home with
Someone elses pants on

Crossed the quad
Pulled my hat down low,
Saw a group of friends
That I pretend I didn’t know

Walk of shame [x3]
‘Was a walk of shame

Baby your place or mine
Either is fine,
But we’ll have to decide which one of us

Takes the Walk of shame
Walk of shame [x3]

But tonight
Man I’m gonna make it right
I’m gonna be prepared

I’m gonna pack a change of clothes in the bottom of my jansport
Visine tic tacs and some axe bottle spray
Hold my head high when I walk outside
Gonna take that walk of shame with priiiiiiiiiiiiide

[Dave:] Walk of shame [x4]
[Jimmy and Dave:] Walk of Shame [x4]
Walk of Shame [till end]
