Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're prettier than all the world
And I'm so proud (I'm so proud)
I'm so proud of you
'Cause you're only one fellow's girl
And I'm so proud (I'm so proud)
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you
[Chorus]
And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
Yes, baby, and I'm so proud (I'm so proud)
I'm so proud of you
[Verse 2]
Compliments to you from all the people we meet
Yes, baby, and I'm so proud (I'm so proud)
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you
[Chorus]
And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
Yes, baby, and I'm so proud (I'm so proud)
I'm so proud of you
[Outro]
I'm so proud of being loved by you
I'm so proud, proud of you, honey
I'm so proud, proud of you, baby
I'm so proud
