I know you wanna leave me

But I refuse to let you go

If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy

I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me.

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it

Please don't leave me girl

Don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, girl

Don't you go.

Now I've heard a cryin' man

Is half a man with no sense of pride

But if I have to cry to keep you

I don't mind weepin' if it'll keep you by my side.

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it

Please don't leave me girl

Don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, girl

Don't you go.

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

Just to keep you from walking away

Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand

'cause I wanna keep you any way I can.

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it

Please don't leave me girl

Don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, girl

Don't you go.

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

And each day it grows more and more

I'm not ashamed to call and plead to you, baby

If pleading keeps you from walking out that door.

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it

Please don't leave me girl

Don't you go

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, girl

Don't you go.
