Song Lyrics

Oh
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 darling

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

So why anytime I bleed, you let me go
Anytime I feed, you get me low
Anytime I seek, you let me know
But I plant that seed, just let me grow

I'm on my knees while I'm (begging)
'Cause I don't want to lose (you)
I got my arms all spread
And I hope that my heart gets fed, matter of fact girl I'm beggin'

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

I need you, (yeah) to understand (oh)
Tried so hard
To be your man
The kind of man you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again

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 devils chance
To win my soul

What we doing? What we chasing?
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 the wrong way 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 dun' give it away, I had it 'til you took it back
But I keep walking on, keep opening doors
Keep hoping for that the call is yours
Keep hoes on hold, 'cause I don't want to live in a broken home, girl I'm beggin'

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

I'm fighting hard (yeah)
To hold my own (to hold my own)
Just can't make it
All alone (all alone)

I'm holding on
Can't fall back (no, I'm fallin')
I'm just a calm
'Bout to fade to black

And I can't come home
You call and I can't come home
You call you can't come home
You call and I can't come home
Can't come home, can't come home, can't come home

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling
