[Intro: Tshawe Baqwa]

Ooh, put your loving hand out, baby

I'm beggin'


[Chorus: Tshawe Baqwa]

(Beggin') beggin' you

Put your lovin' hand out, baby

(Beggin') beggin' you

Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'


[Verse 1: Tshawe Baqwa]

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, and it would end?

[Verse 2: Yosef Wolde-Mariam, Tshawe Baqwa]

So, why any time I leave, ya let me go?

Any time I reach, ya get me low?

Any time I seek, ya let me know?

But I planted that seed, just let me grow

I'm on my knees while I'm (Beggin')

'Cause I don't wanna lose (You)

I got my arms outspread

I hope that my heart gets fed

Matter of fact, girl, I'm beggin'


[Chorus: Tshawe Baqwa]

(Beggin') beggin' you

Put your lovin' hand out, baby

(Beggin') beggin' you

Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'


[Bridge 1: Tshawe Baqwa]

I need you (Yeah) to understand (Woah)

Tried so hard (Hey) to be your man

The kind of man (Oh) you want in the end (Woah)

Only then can I begin to live again


[Verse 3: Tshawe Baqwa]

An empty shell I used to be

Shadow of my life was hangin' over me

A broken man that I don't know

Won't even stand the Devil's chance to win my soul


[Verse 4: Yosef Wolde-Mariam]

What we doin'? What we chasin'?

Why the bottom? Why the basement?

Why we got good shit, don't embrace it?

Why the feel for the need to replace me?

You're on a runway track from the good

I want it painted, a picture tellin' where we could be at

Like the heart ain't attached where it should

You done gave it away, you had it 'til you took it back

But I keep walkin' on, keep open doors

Keep hopin' for, that the court is yours

Keep calls on hold, 'cause I don't wanna live in a broken home

Girl, I'm beggin' (Beggin', beggin')


[Chorus: Tshawe Baqwa]

(Beggin') beggin' you

Put your lovin' hand out, baby

(Beggin') beggin' you

Put your lovin' hand out, darlin'


[Bridge 2: Tshawe Baqwa]

I'm fightin' hard (Yeah)

To hold my own (To hold my own)

Just can't make it all alone (All alone)

I'm holdin' on (Yeah)

Can't fall back (Now I'm fallin')

I'm just a con about (Yeah) to fade to black


[Break]

And I can't come home, you call (Beggin')

And I can't come home, you call

Can't come home, you call (Beggin')

And I can't come home, you call

(Can't come home, you call

Can't come home, you call

Can't come home, you call)


[Chorus: Tshawe Baqwa]

(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'
