Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you want to leave me

But I refuse to let you go

If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy

I don't mind 'cause it means that much to me

[Chorus]

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me, don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, don't you go

[Verse 2]

Well, I heard a crying man

Is half a man with no sense of pride

If I have to cry to keep you, I don't mind weeping

If weeping gonna keep you by my side

[Chorus]

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me, don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, don't you go

[Verse 3]

If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day

Just to keep you from walking away

Let my friends laugh, from this I can stand

'Cause I wanna keep ya

Yeah, yeah I can

[Chorus]

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me, don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, don't you go

[Chorus]

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me, don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, don't you go

[Verse 4]

I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart

Everyday it grows more and more

I'm not ashamed to come and plead with you, baby

If pleading keeps you from walking out the door

[Chorus]

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me, don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, don't you go

[Chorus]

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me, don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, don't you go

[Chorus]

Sweet darling

Don't you go

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

But ain't too proud

But ain't too proud to get down on my knees, baby

[Outro]

Please, don't you go

Ain't too proud to

Ain't too proud to beg

Please don't leave me, don't you go

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave

Now don't you go

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling

Yeah, don't you go
