Lyrics 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

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

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 wouldn't beg for water
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.
