Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh, put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin'
[Chorus]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'
[Verse 1]
Ridin' high, when I was king
Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything
Walked away, wonderin' then
But easy come and easy go and it would end
[Verse 2]
So why every time I lead, you let me go
Every time I reach, you get me low
Every time I seek, you let me know
But I planted that seed, just let me grow
I'm on my knees while I'm (Beggin')
'Cause I dont' wanna lose (You)
I got my arms so spread
I hope that my heart gets fed
Matter of fact, girl, I'm beggin' you
[Chorus]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
An empty shell, I used to be
Shadow of my life was hangin' over me
A broken man, that I don't know
Won't even stand the devil's dance to win my soul
[Verse 4]
What we doin'? What we chasin'?
Why the bottom? Why the basement?
Why we got good shit, don't embrace it?
Why the feel for the need to replace me?
You're on a runway track from the good
I want to paint in a picture telling where we could be at
Like the heart ain't attached where it should
You done gave it away, you had it till you took it back
But I keep walkin' on, keep openin' doors
Keep hopin' for that the call is yours
Keep hoes on hold 'cause I don't wanna live in a broken home
Girl, I'm beggin' you
[Chorus]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'
[Bridge]
I'm fightin' hard
To hold my own (Hold my own)
Just can't make it all alone (All alone)
I'm holdin' on
Can't fall back (Now I'm fallin')
I'm just a con 'bout to fade to black
[Chorus]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'
[Chorus]
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'
