Beggars can’t be choosy, I know, that’s what the people say
but though my heart is beggin’ for love I’ve turned some love away
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 choosy beggar and you’re my choice

People say you can’t have your cake and then eat it too
They tell me that I’m makin’ a mistake waiting around for you
Oh, I’m beggin’ for love but why can’t they see
that your love is the only love, oh, for me

‘Cause I’m a choosy beggar and you’re my choice
I’ll say it one more time now
Ooh...you’re my choice

Oh yeah, If beg you I must then I’ll never give up
‘cause your love is the only love to fill this beggar’s cup

I’m choosy and you’re my choice

If beg you I must then I’ll never give up
‘cause your love is the only love to fill this beggar’s cup

I’m choosy and 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
Ooh yeah, you’re my choice
