Choosey Beggar Songtext
von Smokey Robinson

(Ooh-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
Ah-ha-ha-ha-yeah (ooh-oo-oo-oo-ooh)

Beggars can be choisey, I know
That′s what the people say (people say)
But though my heart is beggin' for love
I′ve turned some love away (love away)

Oh, maybe one was true love, I'll never know which, 'cause
Your love is the only love to make this beggar rich

I′m a choosey beggar, choosey beggar
And you′re my choice, baby (you're my choice)

Well now, people say you can′t have your cake
And then eat it too (eat it too)
They tell me that I'm making a mistake
Waiting around for you (around for you)


Oh, I′m beggin' for love but why can′t they see that
Yours is the only love for me?

'Cause I'm a choosey beggar, choosey beggar
And you′re my choice, baby (you′re my choice)
Say it one more time, now (you're my choice)
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (you′re my choice)
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah

If beg you, I must, then I'll never give up ′cause
Your love is the only thing to fill this beggars cup

I'm choosey (choosey beggar, choosey beggar)
And you′re my choice, oh, baby (you're my choice)

When I need someone to hold me (you're my choice)
When I need arms to enfold me (you′re my choice)
When I need someone beside me (you′re my choice)
If I had you, how happy I'd be (you′re my choice)
Baby-baby-baby, baby, baby-baby (you're my choice)
Yeah-yeah, yeah
