[Intro:]OoooohI'm begging[Chorus:]Begging, begging youPut your loving hand out babyBegging, begging youPut your loving hand out baby[Verse 1:]Riding high, when I was kingPlayed it hard and fast, 'cause I had everythingYou walked away, you won me thenBut easy come and easy goAnd it would end[Pre-Chorus][Chorus:]Take that money watch it burnSing in the river the lessons I learnedTake that money watch it burnSing in the river the lessons I learnedTake that money watch it burnSing in the river the lessons I learnedTake that money watch it burnSing in the river the lessons I learned[Verse 2:]Cause everything that kills me makes me feel aliveLately I've been, I've been losing sleepDreaming about the things that we could beBaby I've been, I've been praying hardSaid no more counting dollars, we'll be we'll be counting starsI I I I feel something so right doing the wrong thingWe'll be counting starsI I I I feel something so wrong doing the right thingBabyI'm fighting hard to hold my ownBut I just can't make it all aloneI'm holding on I can't fall backNow that big brass ring is a shade of black[Chorus 1][Chorus 2]
