Beggin'
"Beggin'" is a song composed by Bob Gaudio and Peggy Farina and popularized by The Four Seasons in 1967. In 2007, the song received new popularity when it was remixed by the French DJ Pilooski and then covered by the Norwegian hip-hop band Madcon.
Original version
Keyboardist/songwriter Bob Gaudio had not written a Four Seasons single since 1965's "Girl Come Running", although he had written or co-written almost every Four Seasons hit up to then.
"Beggin'", the second single from the Four Seasons' New Gold Hits album in 1967, marked Gaudio's "return" as the Seasons' songwriter, with a combination of Valli's impassioned soul singing and the band's more contemporary instrumentation. It also was the first Seasons single since "Dawn (Go Away)" on which Gaudio collaborated with a lyricist other than producer Bob Crewe, as lyrics were contributed by Peggy Farina (aka Peggy Santiglia of The Angels, who sang lead on the 1960s hit "My Boyfriend's Back" and was frequently used as a background singer by Crewe).

Beggin
by: Shocking Blue(Farina/Gandio)
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby now.
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby.
Ridin' high when I was queen,
Play it hard and fast, I had ev'rything.
You walked away, you won me then,
Now easy come and easy go and it would end.
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby now.
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby.
I need you to understand
Never tried so hard to be your girl,
The kind of girl you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again.
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby now.
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby.
Ridin' high when I was queen,
Play it hard and fast, I had ev'rything.
You walked away, you won me then,
Now easy come and easy go and it would end.
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby now.
Beggin' on, beggin' you,
Put your lovin' hand out baby.
I need you to understand
Never tried so hard to be your girl,
The kind of girl you want in the end
