Sheena Easton (born Sheena Shirley Orr, 27 April 1959) is a pop singer originally from Bellshill, Scotland. Sheena became famous for being the subject of the UK TV programme "The Big Time", a late 70s reality TV series which recorded her attempts to gain a record contract. She suceeded spectacularly by having TWO singles in the UK chart at the same time in early 1980. The rest is history... Trivia: In the entire James Bond series, Sheena is the only artist seen performing a song in the title sequence, with "For Your Eyes Only".

I Wouldn't Beg For Water Lyrics

Sheena Easton

I make friends, I make enemies, it doesn't matter all that much to me
I'm not the kind who deals behind the scenes
I won't sell my soul, I'd be nothing without some integrity

Chorus:
I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
If my soul was on fire, that's the last thing I would ever do
I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
If my soul was on fire, but I'd get down on my knees for you

I've got pride, it's not the foolish kind
Don't owe people favours, that's my peace of mind
I don't know why I deserve someone like you
But you're my one and only sole exception to all my rules

chorus

Real love is hard to find, as holding back the sands of time
And time can change my life as much as you

I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
If my soul was on fire, you know me well enough to know it's true
I wouldn't beg for water, I wouldn't beg for water
(If my soul was on fire), but I'd get down on my knees for you
