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

And I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (Beg, borrow and steal)
I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (Beg, borrow and steal)
I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (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 you)
Yeah

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

And I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (Beg, borrow and steal)
I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (Beg, borrow and steal)
I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (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 you)
Yeah
I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (Beg, borrow and steal)
I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (Beg, borrow and steal)
I'd rather beg, borrow and steal (Beg, borrow and steal)
