Put your lovin' hand out, baby   I'm beggin'      Beggin', put your lovin' hand out, baby   Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out, baby      Ridin' high when I was king   Played it hard and fast cause I had everything   You walked away, wonderin' then   But easy come and easy go and it would end      I'm beggin' you, won't you give your hand out, baby   Beggin', put your lovin' hand out, baby      I need you to understand   That I 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   Shadow of my life is hangin' over me   Broken man that I don't know   Don't even stand a devil's chance to win my soul      Beggin' you, won't you give your hand out, baby   Beggin', put your lovin' hand out, baby      I'm fightin' 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      I'm beggin' you, give your hand out, baby   Beggin', put your lovin' hand out, baby
