You threw me out the night before last.
And now you want me back in your arms again.
You think I'm a fool, you treat me like dirt.
You pull the string and hope I will be your friend.
But I know what's on your mind.
So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime.
[Chorus:]
And I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal.
I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal.
I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal,
Than go back to you
Than go back to you
Than go back to you
Than go abck to you
[Instrumental]
How long did you think I'd hang around
Pretending not to see the tricks you pulled on me.
There's only so much a man can take
Before his life turns into a tragedy.
So I'm getting out now while I can,
'Cause I don't want to crawl,
I want to walk out like a man
[Repeat Chorus]
I'd rather beg, beg borrow and steal,
I'd rather beg, beg borrow and steal,
I'd rather beg, beg borrow and steal...
(Fade)
