Smokey Robinson
Choosey Beggar
[Intro]
(Ooh)
Ah, yeah
(Ooh)
[Verse 1]
Beggars can't be choicey I know
That's what the people say (People say)
But though my heart is begging for love
I've turned some love away (Love away)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, maybe one was true love
I'll never know which cause
Your love is the only love to make this beggar rich
[Chorus]
I'm a choosey beggar (choosey beggar)
And you're my choice baby (You're my choice)
[Verse 2]
People say you can't have your cake
And then eat it too (Eat it too)
They tell me I've been making a mistake
Waiting around for you (Around for you)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, I'm begging for love but
Why can't they see that yours is the only love for me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a choosey beggar, choosey beggar (Choosey beggar, choosey beggar)
And you're my choice, baby (You're my choice)
[Bridge]
Say it one more time now (You're my choice)
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (You're my choice)
[Outro]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
If beg you I must, then I'll never give up 'cause
Your love is the only thing to fill this beggar's cup
I'm a choosey beggar (Choosey beggar, choosey beggar)
And your my choice, oh baby (You're my choice)
When I need someone to hold me (You're my choice)
When I need arms to unfold me (You're my choice)
When I need someone beside me (You're my choice)
