"Beggin'" lyrics

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 (Hold my own)
Just can't make it all alone (All alone)
I'm holdin' on, I can't fall back (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'

Ridin' high, when I was king
I played it hard and fast, 'cause I had everything
I walked away, but you warned me then
But easy come, and easy go, and it would end

An empty shell I used to be
The shadow of my life was hanging over me
A broken man that I don't know
Won't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul

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

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

Ridin' high, when I was king
I played it hard and fast, 'cause I had everything
I walked away, but you warned me then
But easy come, and easy go, and it would end
