Make Me Beg [Intro] She don’t ask nice She don’t have to I already know What that smile can do (Damn) [Harmony1] Ooh — she got the wheel Ah — she got the wheel I talk big Then I kneel [Verse1] She walks in like the bar owes her rent Banjo ticks, guitar bites the air I was talking tough two minutes ago Now I’m measuring how much pride I can spare She don’t raise her voice, she just tilts that chin Whole room leans like a barn in wind I know this game, I wrote half the rules Then she looks once and I hand them in [Prechorus] Don’t rush it Let me wait She likes the clock When I’m the bait (Yeah) [Chorus] Make me beg That’s her favorite trick Make me beg She don’t miss Make me beg I talk like a king till she shows up Then I’m just a man Asking please like it’s luck (Please) [Harmony2] Make me beg Make me beg King to a man King to a man [Verse2] She says “maybe” like a loaded gun Leaves it cocked on the tabletop I chase the word around the room She sips slow and she don’t stop Bass hits dirty, riff hits mean Banjo grins like it knows the plot I could walk, I could save my name I stay put like a dog that forgot [Prechorus2] She counts I burn She waits I learn (Again) [Chorus2] Make me beg That’s her favorite trick Make me beg She don’t miss Make me beg I talk like a king till she shows up Then I’m just a man Asking please like it’s luck (Please) [Harmony3] Make me beg Make me beg Please like it’s luck Please like it’s luck [Verse3] Ain’t ashamed of the way she works me That’s the part I paid to see Pride’s a coat I hang by the door When she wants the worst of me She could take it clean, she could take it kind She likes the theater of the wait Puts her mouth close enough to ruin me Then she tells me “not yet” [Prechorus3] Not yet Not yet Say it twice Make me sweat (More) [Chorus3] Make me beg That’s her favorite trick Make me beg She don’t miss Make me beg I talk like a king till she shows up Then I’m just a man Asking please like it’s luck (Please) [Verse4] People think the power’s in the taker They ain’t sat where I’m sat Best seat in the house is the one that breaks you When she decides you’re done with that I’ll hustle all day, I’ll stand up tall I’ll wear the grit like a badge of dirt Then she crooks one finger from across the lot And I forget what my last name’s worth [Bridge] Who runs this? She does Who talks tough? I did Where’s my mouth? Right here Saying please Like a kid Call it weak I call it true I like the leash When the leash is you Don’t need a rescue Don’t need a speech Just that look That puts me on my knees (Knees) [Outro] Make me beg Still hers Make me beg That’s the verse Kill the pride Keep the heat Let her have The best of me (Beg)
