[Intro - spoken, one Rhodes, no drums, close mic, tired] Five o'clock. I already said everything I had. So this ain't new. This is just what's left. [Verse 1 - Rhodes and voice only] I'm not gon' tell you I changed I ain't had time to change, it's been one night I'm not gon' promise you a different man 'Cause you been lied to by this same voice before All I got is that I'm still here And every reason to leave came and went The sun about to make me a fool in front of the whole street And I ain't moved [Pre-Chorus - still no drums] I used to think a man askin' twice was weak I asked eleven times tonight So put me wherever that puts me [Chorus] I'm beggin' you That's the word, I ain't dressin' it up Not askin', not talkin', not workin' it out I'm beggin' you And I know what it cost me I'll pay it again in the mornin' Just say somethin' back I'm beggin' you [Verse 2 - Rhodes and voice only] I'll take the version where you still mad I'll take you not touchin' me for a year I'll take you tellin' your mama what I did And me sittin' at that table anyway I ain't askin' you to forget it I'm askin' you to keep it Hold it against me forever, girl Just hold somethin' of mine [Drums enter here - 2:04, sub bass, kick behind the beat] [Chorus] I'm beggin' you That's the word, I ain't dressin' it up Not askin', not talkin', not workin' it out I'm beggin' you And I know what it cost me I'll pay it again in the mornin' Just say somethin' back I'm beggin' you [Bridge - spoken into sung, stacks enter underneath] You know what the worst part is? I don't even want to be right no more. I been right all night and it got me sittin' on a curb. (Take it, take all of it) You can have the last word forever. You can have every argument we ain't had yet. I'm signin' 'em all over to you right now. Just don't let the sun come up on me out here by myself [Falsetto lift] Please Ohh, please I don't got another way to say it I don't got another way [Final Chorus - modulate up a half step, full stacks] I'm beggin' you That's the word, I ain't dressin' it up Not askin', not talkin', not workin' it out I'm beggin' you And I know what it cost me I'll pay it again in the mornin' Just say somethin' back I'm beggin' you [Vamp - stacks and ad-libs, falsetto stays up, guitar answering] I'm beggin' you (Beggin' you, beggin' you) Ain't got no pride left to spend (Beggin' you, beggin' you) Say my name one time and I'll go Say it one time (Beggin' you, beggin' you) Or don't say nothin' I'll still be right here Ohh I'm beggin' you
