4
baby I'm begging, begging you To put your loving hand out,
5
darling Riding high, when I was king I played at the heart and fight I walked away,
6
you want me then But easy come and easy go, and it wouldn't So anytime I bleed, you let me go Yeah, anytime I feed, you get me,
7
no Anytime I see, you let me know But I plan and see, just let me go I'm on my knees when I'm begging Cause I don't wanna lose you Hey,
8
yeah Cause I'm begging, begging you I put your love in your hand now,
9
baby I'm begging, begging you I put your love in your hand now,
10
don't lie I need you to understand Try
11
so hard to be your man The kind of man you
12
want in the end Only then can I begin to live again An empty shell,
13
I used to be The shadow of my life was hanging over me A broken mind that I don't know
14
Won't even stand, I never stand to be my soul Why we chilling, why we chasing Why the bottom, why the basement Why we got good shit,
15
don't embrace it Why the feels for the need to replace me You're the wrong way, trying to learn the good I wound up in a future
16
town where we could be at Like a heart in a best way, shit You can give it away, your heart and you tend to fade But I keep working on, keep opening the doors Keep open for
17
that the door is yours Keep also home Cause I'm the one that left in a broken home, girl, I'm begging Yeah, I'm begging,
18
begging you To put your love in the hand now,
19
baby I'm begging, begging you To put your love in the hand now,
20
darling I'm fighting hard to hold my own Just can't make it all alone I'm holding on,
21
I can't fall back I'm just a calm, but your face is like I'm begging,
22
begging you Put your lovin' hand out,
23
baby I'm begging, begging you To put your lovin' hand out,
24
darling I'm begging, begging you To put your lovin' hand out,
25
baby I'm begging, begging you To put your love in the hand out,
26
darling I'm begging, begging you To put your love in the hand out,
27
baby I'm begging, begging you To put your love in the hand out

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
