We had a quarrel the other day
And I just let you walk away
(CHORUS)
Cause I was proud
So proud and strong
Yes, I was much too proud
To say I was wrong
You turned back crying
And called to me
But I just stood there silently
(CHORUS)
Some other guy
Might have called to you
And said don't go
I need you so
But I wouldn't do it
No, I couldn't do it
And so I let you say goodbye
And I was proud I let you cry
Proud I held my head up high
And now I'm just a
Proud and lonely guy
