Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, darling
Riding high, when I was king
Played hard and fast
'Cause I had everything
Walked away, won me then
But easy come and easy go
And it would end
I'm fighting harder to hold my own (hold my own)
Just can't make it all alone (all alone)
I'm holding on, I can't fall back (now, I'm fall)
I'm just a con 'bout to fade to black
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, darling
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, darling
I need you to understand (you-ou-ou)
Tried so hard to be your man (all alone)
The kind of man you want in the end
Only they can I begin to live again
An empty shell, I used to be
Shadow of my life was hanging over me
A broken man, but I don't know
Won't even stand the devil's dance to win my soul
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, darling
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you-ou-ou
Put your loving hand out, darling
