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
