Put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin'

(Beggin') beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby
(Beggin') beggin' you
Put your loving hand out, baby

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

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

I need you to understand
That I've tried so hard to be a man
The kind of man you'd want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again

An empty shell, I used to be
The shadow of my life is hangin' over me
A broken man without a goal
Don't even stand the devil's dance to win my soul

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

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

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

I'm beggin' you
Won't you give your hand out, baby?
