I Wouldn't Beg For Water

Sheena Easton

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
