Lyrics

Even rich men ask for more,

Even wealthy individuals desire more in life.

Well I ain't poor

The speaker is not financially poor.

But I'm a beggar for your love

Expressing a strong desire and willingness to beg for love.

And enough it ain't enough

Despite having some, the current amount of love is insufficient.

You can call me crazy

Acknowledging the possibility of being perceived as irrational.

You can call me anything you like

Openness to being labeled in any way, showing vulnerability.


Even gluttons got to eat,

Even those who indulge have basic needs.

Well I ain't weak

Not physically weak, but yearning intensely for love.

But I hunger for your love

Expressing a deep hunger for love that is currently insufficient.

And enough it ain't enough

Despite having some, the current amount of love is not satisfactory.


Well I'd pawn my heart if I thought you'd break it

Willingness to make significant sacrifices for the possibility of love.

Sell my soul if I thought you'd take it

Ready to give up something valuable for the chance of love.

But every smile and conversation lets me know

Noticing that interactions and smiles indicate a love driven by ulterior motives.

that you're only in it for love

A realization that the other person is only interested in love for their own sake.


I intend to keep a friend in love

Expressing a commitment to maintaining a friendship in love.

Please remember, I don't pretend in love

Emphasizing sincerity and lack of pretense in love.


Even kings they ask for more,

Even those in high positions have unmet desires.

Well I ain't sure

Uncertain about personal wealth but deeply desiring love.

But I'm a pauper for your love

Expressing a sense of poverty in terms of love.

And enough it ain't enough

Despite having some, the current amount of love is not enough.

You can call me crazy

Open to being labeled as crazy in the pursuit of love.

You can call me anything you like

Acceptance of any label in the pursuit of love.


Even rivers ask for rain,

Even abundant things have needs.

Well I ain't sand

Not fragile like sand, but feeling like a desert without love.

But I'm a desert for your love

Expressing a profound emptiness without sufficient love.

And enough it ain't enough

Despite having some, the current amount of love is not enough.


Well I'd pawn my heart if I thought you'd break it

Willing to risk emotional pain if it leads to love.

Sell my soul if I thought you'd take it

Ready to sacrifice the soul for the possibility of love.

But every smile and conversation lets me know

Awareness that smiles and conversations reveal selfish motives in love.

that you're only in it for love

Understanding that the other person is only interested in love for personal gain.


I intend to keep a friend in love

Commitment to maintaining a friendship within the context of love.

Please remember, I don't pretend in love

Reiterating sincerity and the absence of pretense in love.


I intend to keep a friend in love

Renewed commitment to keeping a friendship within the realm of love.

Please remember, I don't pretend in love

Emphasizing sincerity and the lack of pretense in the ongoing pursuit of love.
