She wore black on black
It was perfect for the night
She looked like an angel
By the candlelight

He had his lines all down
Like a work of art
He made every word sound
Like it was straight from the heart

He said, "Do you believe in magic?"
As he reached for her hand
She said, "I always have
But I should try understand"

He watched like a hawk
As she tripped on her gown
He said, "I'll give you a ride
'Cause this is a dangerous town"

She stepped inside like a woman
And took that walk of shame
She stepped into his car
She didn't even know his name

She felt less of nothing
And no guilt, no pain
Two hungry souls
On the walk of shame

He called her a lady
It went straight to her head
He spoke hollow words in a motel room
In a dusty bed

When the morning broke
The truth came with the light
The mirror told her the magic
Well, it just disappeared with the night

And there she stood like a woman
And took that walk of shame
She didn't make a sound
She didn't even know his name

She felt less of nothing
And no guilt, no pain
No tears allowed
On the walk of shame
No tears allowed
On the walk of shame
