Beggin'

Put your loving hand out, baby
'Cause I'm beggin'

I'm beggin', beggin' you
So, put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin', beggin' you
So, put your loving hand out, darling

Riding high, when I was king
I played it hard and fast, 'cause I had everything
I walked away, but you warned me then
But easy come, and easy go, and it would end

So, any time I bleed, you let me go
Yeah, any time I feed, you get me know
Any time I seek, you let me know
But I plan and see, just let me go
I'm on my knees while I'm beggin'
'Cause I don't wanna lose you
Hey-yeah, ra-ta-ta-ta

'Cause I'm beggin', beggin' you
So put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin', beggin' you
And put your loving hand out, darling

I need you to understand
Tried so hard to be your friend
The kind of friend that you'll want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again

An empty shell
I used to be
The shadow of my life was hanging over me
A broken one
But I don't know
Won't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul

What we doing? What we chasing?
Why the bottom? Why the basement?
Why we got good things, don't embrace it?
Why the feel for the need to replace me?
You're the wrong way track from the good
I wanna paint a picture telling where we could be at
Like a heart ain't attached the way it should
You can give it away, you had, and you took the pay

But I keep walking on, keep opening doors
Keep hoping for that the call is yours
Keep calls on hold
'Cause I don't wanna live in a broken home
Girl, I'm begging

Mmm, yeah-ay-yeah
I'm beggin', beggin' you
So, put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin', beggin' you
So, put your loving hand out, darling

I'm fighting hard to hold my own
Just can't make it all alone
I'm holding on, I can't fall back
I'm just a calm 'bout to fade to black

I'm beggin', beggin' you
So, put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin', beggin' you
So, put your loving hand out, darling
So I'm beggin', beggin' you
And put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin', beggin' you
So, put your loving hand out
