i no longer feel ashamed when begging
i know now there are some things not easily given
i no longer feel the pain when kneeling
coz what i'm asking for is worth all of heaven
when before i lose my pride and ego
i know now i lost them both before you came around
and the source of self-esteem that's in me flowing
is the love that flows from you to me i found
so what if i have to beg and go down
on my knees to have a piece of you today
who will care if i don't mind if i'm pathetic
i don't care now what other people say
when in kneeling before you's the condition
for the gift of your sought-after attention
i will go down on my knees unmindful baby
of the tears that still proves i'm only human...
