You Don’t Have to Beg Lyrics by Peabo Bryson

Can You Stop the Rain

1991

[Verse 1]
Your heart just broke into a million pieces
It doesn't seem to bother him at all
Your emotional distress increases
You can feel your back against the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
Should you just swallow your pride, baby?
Run to him and apologize
For things you haven't said or done
He'll never make you the one
He will hurt you
So get off of your knees

[Chorus]
You don't have to beg
Don't, baby, don't let him see you beg (Off your knees)
Don't you be afraid
And don't let him see you cry
Don't you beg

[Verse 2]
Gets inside your soul and starts a fire
Eternal flames that burn from dawn to dawn
Use your will and passion and desire
Then he leaves you out there on your own, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
When will you open your eyes, baby?
See the beauty wanted more inside
When it's all been said and done
Will he still be the one you will long for?
If it's love that you need

[Chorus]
You don't have to beg
Don't you, baby, don't let him see you beg
Get off your knees, it's only in your head
Don't let him see you cry
And don't you beg

[Bridge]
You should ever need
Two loving that long to hold you
You should ever need someone who cares
Please remember me
Remember that I told you
You, just call my name and I'm there

[Outro]
You don't have to beg
Don't do it, baby
Don't, don't let him see you beg
It's only in your head
Don't you let him see you cry
And don't you beg
Ah baby, don't, don't you beg
Don't you be afraid, no no
Don't let him see you cry
Don't you beg
Don't, don't, baby
Don't let him, don't let him see you beg
It's only in your head
Don't let him see you cry
Don't you beg, no, oh, no, no
Don't you, don't you beg
