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 (If my soul was on fire), but I'd get down on my knees for you
