[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
(Begging) 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
Broken man without a throne
Won't even stand the devils dance
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.
