Begging isn't easy It kills your self-esteem Makes you feel dependent It makes you feel mean But subtlety is useless In breaking down a wall And subtlety is toothless You'd rather see me crawl So if it takes a flashy display To make you warm up, OK CHORUS Because you're so important to me So important to me So important to me Right now This discrimination Is cruel and inhumane If I had any pride left I'd say you were insane If only you would love me Or just be less intense It isn't that I'm ugly It isn't that I'm dense But if it takes a cheap, tawdry scene To make you see what I mean CHORUS -------------------------------- -------------
