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 (Hold my own)
Just can't make it all alone (All alone)
I'm holding on, I can't fall back (Can't fall back)
I'm just a con 'bout 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, but you warned me then
But easy come, and easy go, and it would end

An empty shell I used to be
The shadow of my life was hanging over me
A broken man that 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

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, but you warned me then
But easy come, and easy go, and it would end
