Story Behind The Song
Song was written after lots of personal growth by the writer.
Song Description
Song is about getting "out there" and being yourself regardless of whether it's considered the norm. It uses metaphors of women's clothing, i.e. "let down my hair, slide
up my skirt" to convey meanings of being more relaxed, and
willing to show the world who you are and what assets you have.

Lyrics
Is he my prince ... is he the toad
Waiting, wondering is getting too old
I'm gonna let down my hair ... slide up my skirt
Get me out and be the biggest little flirt
Well I might have to break someone's heart
And I might have to break someone's rule
But I can't live my life by the book
That's a fairy tale written, performed and
perfected by fools
Shameless ... that's how I'm gonna be
Shameless ... that's how I've gotta be
This is my life ... nothing to hide ... shameless
Look out now world ... look out for me
Bright red lipstick and my heart on my sleeve
Flashy and free ... I'm gonna have me some fun
It's no crime to let some buttons come undone
Yes I might have to break someone's heart
And I might have to break someone's rule
But I won't live my life by the book
That's a fairy tale written, performed and
perfected by fools
Shameless ... that's how I'm gonna be
Shameless ... that's how I've gotta be
Out there ... on a limb ... that's where the fruit is
Reach out ... take it in ... guilt free and painless
Yeah ......
Shameless ... that's how I'm gonna be
Shameless ... that's how I've gotta be
This is my life ... nothing to hide ... shameless
Shameless...shameless...oooh
