I left you this morning...couldn't take any more...
You laughed and dared me...to walk out the door...
You said that I'd come back ...you knew what I'd do...
And you know you were right, 'cause I'm back here tonight
Begging to you.

I won't disappoint you...I'm beggin' to stay....
But that's what you wanted...to hear any way...
It must make you happy...to make me so blue...
What a pitiful sight I...must be tonight begging to you.

You don't want my loving...but you let me stay 'round...
I guess just to walk on...so you don't touch the ground...
To you it don't matter...what you cause me to do...
As long as you keep me...begging to you
