I'm Not Gonna Beg

Natalie Merchant

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for love

Straight talk, give me the straight talk.

Tell me what's on your mind if it ain't love

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for your love

Scared now, what are you scared of?

Afraid I might fall on my knees and break down?

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for your love

Don't you think you can take me

For pretty little ride

I know "once upon a time"

And "ever after" is a lie

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing at all

There's nothing I want from you,

Nothing you can say or do

There is nothing I want for you to say anyway

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for your love
