Love Beggar

Yeah, oh, jah bless.

Why must I beg for what I freely give?

Easy now.

I give you my time, I give you my gold

A love so deep, or so I was told

I work all day to put food on the plate

But when I come home, you just lock up the gate

I'm standing outside in the cold and the rain

While you treat my devotion like some kind of game

Now I'm a love beggar, crying at your door

Giving you everything, but you just want more

I give you money, attention, and grace

But you give me nothing, just turn away your face

No love, no attention, just a cold empty space

Yeah, a cold empty space

I offer my shoulder when you want to cry

But you look right through me, not even a sigh

A one-way street is a hard road to tread

With hunger in my heart and these doubts in my head

I'm pouring my soul in a broken old cup

It is time for this beggar to finally stand up

Now I'm a love beggar, crying at your door

Giving you everything, but you just want more

I give you money, attention, and grace

But you give me nothing, just turn away your face

No love, no attention, just a cold empty space

Yeah, a cold empty space

No more begging, yeah.

One love.

Rise up.

Easy now.
