lyrics

Well I won't
Do the walk
Of shame

No I won't
Do the walk
Of shame

I won't do the walk of shame
'Cause man, I had a good time
Dancin' laughin' gettin' wild
And all the while a-drinkin' too much wine

We all know where things went next
But I don't kiss and tell
If your story sounds the same
Let's have a drink and we'll chat a spell

No I won't
Do the walk
Of shame

Now friends you know the walk of shame can be spotted a mile away
So raise your glass, give a smile, and swear from now on we'll all just say...

No I won't
Do the walk
Of shame

So girl don't do the walk of shame if you had a good time
Your makeup's smeared, last night's clothes
But just walk away in a strong straight line

No I won't
Do the walk
Of shame
