Say it louder, say it louder
Who's gonna love you like me, like me?
Say it louder, say it louder
Who's gonna touch you like me, like me?

Ooh, said you wanna be good but you couldn't keep your composure
Ooh, said you wanna be good but you're begging me to come over
Ooh, come over
Ooh, saying who's gonna fuck you like me? Yeah

I don't wanna hurt you but you live for the pain
I'm not tryna say it but it's what you became
You want me to fix you but it's never enough
That's why you always call me cause you're scared to be loved
But I'll always be there for you, I'll always be there for you
I'll always be there for you, girl I have no shame (shame)
I'll always be there for you, I'll always be there for you
I'll always be there for you, girl I have no shame (shame)

Say it louder, say it louder, yeah
Who's gonna love you like me, like me? Yeah
Say it louder, say it louder
Who's gonna touch you like me, like me?

Ooh, said it'd be the last time, all you needed was a little closure
Ooh, said it'd be the last time but you're begging me to come over
Ooh, come over
Ooh, saying who's gonna fuck you like me? Hey

I don't wanna hurt you but you live for the pain
I'm not tryna say it but it's what you became
You want me to fix you but it's never enough
That's why you always call me cause you're scared to be loved
But I'll always be there for you, I'll always be there for you
I'll always be there for you, girl I have no shame (shame)
I'll always be there for you, I'll always be there for you
I'll always be there for you, girl I have no shame (shame)

You want me to fix you but it's never enough (never enough)
That's why you always call me 'cause you're scared to be loved (scared to be loved)
But I'll always be there for you, I'll always be there for you
I'll always be there for you, girl I have no shame (always be there for you, shame)
I'll always be there for you (always be there for you), I'll always be there for you




I'll always be there for you, girl I have no shame

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's "Shameless" is a song about the complexity of a toxic relationship. The singer in the song challenges his former partner to find someone who loves her and touches her as he did. He points out that he has always been there for her, despite her addiction to pain and unwillingness to be loved. The singer acknowledges that although he doesn't want to hurt her, he has become an enabler to her pain addiction. He wants to offer her closure and move on from their unhealthy dynamic, but she begs him to come back to her.


The line "You want me to fix you but it's never enough" speaks to the idea that in toxic relationships, the abuser often gets trapped in a cycle of abuse and is unable to see that their behavior is the root of their partner's pain. Additionally, the line "That's why you always call me 'cause you're scared to be loved" suggests that the singer's former partner feels unworthy of love and may use pain as a way of avoiding truly connecting with another person.


Overall, "Shameless" is a powerful examination of the complexities of a toxic relationship and the cycle of abuse that often characterizes these partnerships.
