Lyrics
Don't Wanna Beg
By Juda Mcglover
Verse 1. I have seen all that I can see
And still remains the mystery
Why the love of a lifetime
Should be denied
And I have fought
All that I could fight
With all the strength
Of my hearts might
Almost broke every rule
How could fate be so cruel
Chorus And now,
I Don?t wanna beg because
A woman?s supposed to have much more pride
And I don?t want to beg because o
Of the way you hurt me
But with each day
My heart aches ?Why??
I think of you
And inside I die
I don?t want to beg
But if nothing? else works
I will
Verse 2. I recall a better time
With our hearts and souls entwined
A love enraptured melody
Riding waves of ecstasy
And like a careless child at play
So easily you throw away
A gift divine
Tell me what was the crime ?
Chorus And now,
I Don?t wanna beg because
A woman?s supposed to have much more pride
And I don?t want to beg because o
Of the way you hurt me
But with each day
My heart aches ?Why??
I think of you
And inside I die
I don?t want to beg
But if nothing? else works
I will
Bridge If you don?t want me
Ill go away
Or if you don?t need me
I?ll just turn and walk away, forever
But if you know
How I feel
Why don?t you take away
The pain I feel
I got so much at stake
That I?m willing to say, please
