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
