    Put your lovin' hand out, baby
    I'm beggin'

    (Beggin') beggin' (ooh)
    Put your lovin' hand out, baby
    (Beggin') beggin' you
    Put your lovin' hand out, baby

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

    (Beggin') I'm beggin' you
    Won't you give your hand out, baby?
    (Beggin') beggin' (ooh)
    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
    A broken man that I don't know
    Don't even stand a devil's chance to win my soul

    (Beggin') beggin' you
    Won't you give your hand out, baby?
    (Beggin') beggin' you
    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

    (Beggin') I'm beggin' you
    Won't you give your hand out, baby?
    (Beggin') beggin' (ooh)
    Put your lovin' hand out, baby
    (Beggin') beggin' you
    Won't you give your hand out, baby? Writer/s: Bob Gaudio, Peggy Farina
