Beggin′, beggin' you

Put your loving hand out, baby

Beggin′, beggin' youPut your loving hand out, darling

I'm fighting hard

To hold my own (to hold my own)

Just can′t make it

All alone (all alone)

I′m holding on

I can't hold back (I can′t hold back)

(Yeah) I'm just a con

′Bout to fade to black

Beggin', beggin′ you

Put your loving hand out, baby

Beggin', beggin' you

Put your loving hand out, darling

Riding high, when I was king

Played it hard and fast, ′cause I had everything

I walked away to wonderin′ then

But easy come and easy go

And it would end

An empty shell, I used to be

Shadow of my life was hangin' over me

A broken man, but I don′t know

Won't even stand the devil′s chance to win my soul

I need you to understand

Tried so hard to be your man

The kind of man you want in the end

Only then can I begin to live again

Beggin', beggin′ you

Put your loving hand out, baby

Beggin', beggin' you

Put your loving hand out, darling

Riding high, when I was king

Played it hard and fast, ′cause I had everything

I walked away, to wonderin′ then

But easy come and easy go

And it would end
