Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put your loving hand out, baby
I'm begging
[Verse 2]
(Begging) Begging (You)
Put your loving hand out, baby
(Begging) Begging you
Put your loving hand out, baby
[Verse 3]
Riding high when I was king
Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything
You walked away, warned me then
That easy come and easy go and it would end
[Verse 4]
(Begging) I'm begging you
Won't you give your hand out, baby?
(Begging) Begging (You)
Put your loving hand out, baby
[Verse 5]
I need you to understand
That I'm trying so hard to be a man
The kind of man you'd want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again
[Verse 6]
An empty shell of used-to-be
The shadow of my life is hanging over me
A broken man without a goal
Don't even stand a devil's chance to win my soul
[Verse 7]
(Begging) Begging you
Won't you give your hand out, baby?
(Begging) Begging you
Put your loving hand out, baby
[Verse 8]
I'm fighting hard to hold my own
No, I just can't make it all alone
I'm holding on, I can't fall back
Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
[Verse 9]
(Begging) I'm begging you
Won't you give your hand out, baby?
(Begging) Begging (You)
Put your loving hand out, baby
(Begging) Begging you
