INTRO: /// // /// // (x2)
#1.
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, borrow and steal..I d rather
beg borrow and steal..I d rather beg, borrow and steal
than go back to you..go back to you..than go back to
you, go back to you, than go back to you, go back to
///////////
you..than go back to you..go back to youuuuuu..
(INTERLUDE:) (x4)
#2.
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 gettin out now while I can, cause I don t want
to crawl..I want to walk out like a man..
CHORUS:
And I d rather beg, borrow and steal..I d rather
beg borrow and steal..I d rather beg, borrow and steal
than go back to you..go back to you..than go back to
you, go back to you, than go back to you, go back to
///////////
you..than go back to you..go back to youuuuuu..yeahhhh!
OUTRO:
And I d rather beg, borrow and steal..I d rather
beg borrow and steal..(Fade.)
