Beggin'

Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you
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 too calm not to fade to black

Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you
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, and you want me then
But easy come and easy go and it would end

An empty shell, I used to be
Shadow of my life was hanging over me
A broken man that I don't know
Will he withstand the devil's chance to win my soul

I need you, so 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

Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you
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, and you want me then
But easy come and easy go and it would end

An empty shell, I used to be
Shadow of my life was hanging over me
A broken man that I don't know
Will he withstand the devil's chance to win my soul

I need you, so 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
