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

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out darlin'

Ridin' high, when I was king
Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything
Walked away, wonderin' then
Would easy come and easy go, when it would end

So why anytime I bleed, ya let me go
Anytime I reach, ya get me yo
Anytime I seek, ya let me know
But I planted that seed, just let me go

I'm on my knees while I'm beggin'
'Cause I don't wanna lose you
I got my arms so spread, I hope that my heart gets fed
Matter of fact girl I'm beggin' you

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out darlin'

I need you to understand
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 but I don't know
Won't even stand a devil's chance to win my soul

What we doin'? What we chasin'?
Why da bottom? Why da basement?
Why we got good shit, don't embrace it?
Why the feel for the need to replacement?

You're on a wrong way track from the good
I only painted a picture, anywhere we could be at
Like the heart in the best way should
You done gave it away, ya had it 'til ya took it back

But I keep walkin' on, keep open doors
Keep hopin' for, th-that the call is yours
Keep browsin' halls 'cause I don't wanna live in a broken home
Girl I'm beggin'

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out darlin'

I'm fightin' hard to hold my own
Just can't make it all alone
I'm holdin' on, can't fall back
I'm just a con 'bout to fade to black!

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out darlin'

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out darlin'
