Then, there’s the Godfather of Soul, JAMES BROWN. His very first hit out the box was “Please, Please, Please” from 1956 – a song performed ’til the day he died. He said “please, please, please” so much, most people forget that there are other words. But in this one, it’s not so much what he sang, but how he sang it. Everyone needs to see him doing this one live. The crowd loves it. It was usually his finale in live shows. Take a look at this mid 60s performance at the T.A.M.I. show and all you need to know about begging on stage is right there in this video clip.
Marvin Gaye
I want you, (& I want you)
The right way (& the right way)
I want you (Yes I do)
But I want you to want me too (Want me too)
Want you to want me, baby (& I wanna it 2 be the right way)
Just like I want you
I give you all the love I want in return sweet darlin’
But half a love is all I feel
It’s too bad, it’s just too sad
You don’t want me now
But I’m gonna change your mind
Someway, somehow, oh baby
I want you – the right way
I want you
But I wan’t you to want me too
Want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you
This one way love is just a fantasy, oh sugar
To share is precious, pure and fair
Don’t play with something you should cherish for life, oh baby
Don’t you wanna care
Aint it lonely out there
I want you – the right way
I want you
But I wan’t you to want me too
Want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you

I’m gonna knock on your door tap on your window pane . Begging to the point of stalking

Chapter8 I just want to be your girl – those words have been said over and over throughout the song so much you’re only kidding yourself if Anita wasn’t begging.
How could anyone forget this one ??
Why have I lost you / cameo. Anytime you can’t let go you’re begging. She’s gone man!
