[Verse 1]

Begging isn't easy

It kills your self-esteem

Makes you feel dependent

It makes you feel mean

[Verse 2]

But subtlety is useless

In breaking down a wall

And subtlety is toothless

You'd rather see me crawl

[Pre-Chorus 1]

So if it takes a flashy display

To make you warm up, ok

[Chorus]

Because you're so important to me

So important to me

So important to me

Right now

[Verse 3]

This discrimination

Is cruel and inhumane

If I had any pride left

I'd say you were insane

[Verse 4]

If only you would love me

Or just be less intense

It isn't that I'm ugly

It isn't that I'm dense

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But if it takes a cheap, tawdry scene

To make you see what I mean

[Chorus]

Because you're so important to me

So important to me

So important to me

Right now

[Chorus]

Because you're so important to me

So important to me

So important to me

Right now

[Interlude 1]

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But if it takes a cheap, tawdry scene

To make you see what I mean

[Chorus]

Because you're so important to me

So important to me

So important to me

Right now

[Interlude 2]

[Chorus]

So important to me

So important to me

So important to me

Right now, right now
