[music]

>> I'm begging, [singing] begging you

to put your loving hand

>> [music]

>> out, baby.

I'm begging, begging [singing] you

Riding high

I need you to understand.

[music and singing]

Tried so hard to be your man,

the kind of [singing] man you want in

the end. Only then can [music] I begin

to live again.

An empty shell I used to be. The shadow

of my life was dragging over me.

A broken man

>> [music]

>> that I don't know

would even stand a day or a chance to be

my soul. Why we chilling? Why we

chasing? Why [music] the bottom? Why the

basement? Why we got good don't

embrace it? Why the fear for the need to

replace me? It's a long way to trust in

the game. But when I've been [music] a

preacher down, where we could be at?

Like a heart in the best way You

can't give it away you have and you

disappear. But I keep walking on, I

>> [music]

>> keep moving the dark, I keep moving

forward. Then the dark is yours, keep

also home cuz I don't want to live in

[music] a broken home. Girl, I'm

begging.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm begging, begging

you

to put your loving hand

[music and singing] out, baby.

I'm begging, begging you

to put [music] your loving hand out,

darling.

I'm finding hard to hold

[music and singing] my own.

Just can't make it all alone.

I'm holding [music] on. I can't

[singing] fall back. I'm just a call but

you make me cry.

I'm begging, begging you

to put your loving hand [music] out,

baby.

I'm begging, begging you

to put your loving hand [music] out,

darling.

I'm begging, begging you

>> [music]

I'm begging, begging you

to put your loving hand [music] out,

[singing] out.
