I'm Not Gonna Beg
Unyielding Independence: I Won't Plead for Love
Lyrics
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I won't plead or ask desperately for anything.
I'm not gonna beg you for love
I won't beg you for your love.
Straight talk, give me the straight talk.
Give me honest and direct communication.
Tell me what's on your mind if it ain't love
Share what's on your mind, but only if it involves love.
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
Reiteration: I won't plead or ask desperately for anything.
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Reiteration: I won't beg you for your love.
Scared now, what are you scared of?
Expressing concern: What are you afraid of?
Afraid I might fall on my knees and break down?
Concern about breaking down emotionally if vulnerable.
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
Reiteration: I won't plead or ask desperately for anything.
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Reiteration: I won't beg you for your love.
Don't you think you can take me
Suggesting not to underestimate or manipulate.
For pretty little ride
Warning against being deceived or taken advantage of.
I know "once upon a time"
Referencing fairy tale clichés, suggesting skepticism.
And "ever after" is a lie
Asserting that "once upon a time" and "ever after" are false.
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing at all
Reiteration: I won't plead or ask desperately for anything at all.
There's nothing I want from you,
Clarifying there's nothing desired from the other person.
Nothing you can say or do
Emphasizing that words or actions won't change the situation.
There is nothing I want for you to say anyway
Indifference: Nothing expected or wanted to be said by the other person.
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
Reiteration: I won't plead or ask desperately for anything.
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Reiteration: I won't beg you for your love.
