i wouldn't beg for water

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

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

but i'd get down on my knees for you
