Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson - Beg a Little Love lyrics

(hunter/mcnasty) 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 s**er 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
