Useless Begging - Todd Rundgren

Is that you?

Look who’s on the skids this time

Bitchin' 'bout her place in line

And all you really want is attention

'cause you’re like every other girl uptown

Who wants to ride her face around

And wave about that power you have to put me down

And so I’ll tell ya

To see you like this is nearly tragic

But it’s like ruby says our dreams have magic

But I know useless begging won’t help me

Yes it’s you

You leave me nothing left to say

'cause I thought that we’d return one day

Together to a great sphere of knowledge

But that would never do for you

'cause you thought you knew a thing or two

But you don’t even know what is and isn’t true

And so I’ll tell ya

I was a fool that’s why I got burned

But in all that time there’s one thing I learned

And that is useless begging won’t help me
