Ian Hunter - Beg a Little Love lyrics

(hunter/mcnasty)

Life takes a little piece of you away

Most everyday of your life

Oh learn to get wiseyou learn to compromise-

You learn to criticise yourself

I guess we all grow up 'cos one day everything-

Seems so further from the truth

And you try to find yourself- in this endless youth

I said you try to find yourself-and you

Beg a little love

Fate takes another stab at your face

And you can never cease to resist

And you take it on the chin-that old sucker punch again

Reminds you what you've missed

When the colors blazed and your jealousy raged

You were so sensitive to every touch

And it ain't to forget in this endless youth

So you find a perfect stranger- and you

Beg a little love

What do you get in the end

Did you really need that friend

Your emotions dulled to save your heart

From failing at the hardest part

But you still get down on your knees

I said you get down n your knees

And you beg

Now there's nothing left to laugh at

Nothing left to say-nothing left do

There's nothing left-so there's nothing left to ask for

But you still get down on your knees- and you beg

These words are my sacrificial lamb

Burnin' a hole down my heart

Dancin' down that river of no return

You know you missed that boat- but you still get

Down on your knees

Afterall o' those years

Afterall o' those fears

Afterall o' those dreams

Afterall o' those screams

Aferall o' those nights

Afterall o' those fights

When my mind had gonewhen both o' my minds had gone

When my minds had gone

I'm still a child

And I get down on my knees and I beg

Beg a little love
