[Intro]
Put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin'

[Chorus]
(Beggin') beggin' (You)
Put your loving hand out, baby
(Beggin') beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby

[Verse 1]
Riding high when I was king
Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything
You walked away, won me then
But easy come and easy go and it would end

[Chorus]
(Beggin') I'm beggin' you
Won't you give your hand out, baby
(Beggin') beggin'
Put your loving hand out, baby

[Bridge 1]
I need you to understand
That I 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 2]
An empty shell used to be
Shadow of my life is hanging over me
A broken man without a throne
Don't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul

[Chorus]
(Beggin') beggin' you
Won't you give your hand out, baby
(Beggin') beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby

[Bridge 2]
I'm fighting hard to hold my own
No, I just can't make it all alone
I'm holdin' on, I can't fall back
Now that big brass ring is a shade of black

[Chorus]
(Beggin') I'm beggin' you
Won't you give your hand out, baby
(Beggin') beggin'
Put your loving hand out, baby
(Beggin') beggin' you
Won't you give your hand out, baby
