I'd like to tell you all a story if you'll listen
Thae happy memories few, so have a chair, sit right there
While I bare my heart to you
I've lived in hell these last three months without you
Oh you know it, I guess that's why you heard me say
As a rule (as a rule) I'm no fool (baby, I'm no fool)
Oh with you I promised to be true

(Exception) Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you
I beg you, darling (beggin's hard to do)
And I will beg from you, darling

I can remember when I lost you love to another
(To another)
I can recall it hurt me so
And I confess (I confess)
It's a mess (baby, it's a mess)
Oh, I'd love to hold you close
(Whisper in your ear and let you know that)
(Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you)
Searched the wide world over
Never so crystal clear before
So, I'm begging
(Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you)
I would beg for you

[instrumental]

Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you
I beg you, darling
(Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you)
But I would beg for you, I beg you, baby
(Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you)
Hear me calling, calling out to you, now I'm begging
(Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you)
Begging hard for you
(Beggin's hard to do but I beg for you)
Lord I'm begging, begging hard for you
I'm begging, baby
