I make friends, I make enemies, it doesn't matter all
that much to me
I'm not the kind who deals behind the scenes
I won't sell my soul, I'd be nothing without some
integrity
Chorus:
I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
If my soul was on fire, that's the last thing I would
ever do
I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
If my soul was on fire, but I'd get down on my knees
for you
I've got pride, it's not the foolish kind
Don't owe people favours, that's my peace of mind
I don't know why I deserve someone like you
But you're my one and only sole exception to all my
rules
chorus
Real love is hard to find, as holding back the sands of
time
And time can change my life as much as you
I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
If my soul was on fire, you know me well enough to know
it's true
I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
(If my soul was on fire), but I'd get down on my knees
for you
