Life takes a little piece of you away
  Most everyday of your life
  Oh learn to get wise, you 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 gone, when 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
