Oooooh-
Put your loving hand out, baby
I'm begging

Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out baby
Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out darling

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't

Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you (I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you)
Put your loving hand out darling (I can't stand losing you)
I need you, (yeah) to understand
Tried so hard
To be your man (I can't stand losing you)
The kind of man you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't

Begging, begging you (I can't stand losing you)
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you (I can't, I can't stand losing, I can't)
Put your loving hand out darling (I can't stand losing you)
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

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride

I can't, I can't (Begging, begging you)
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't (Begging, begging you)
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't (Begging, begging you)
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't (Put your loving hand out, baby)
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't (Begging, begging you)
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't (Put your loving hand out darling)
I can't stand losing you
