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.
