I know you wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg, plead for sympathy
I don't mind, 'cause it means that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
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

Well, I heard a quiet man, half a man
With no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keep ya I don't mind weepin'
If weepin' gonna keep ya by my side

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
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 door step all night and day
Just to keep you from walkin' away
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand
Because I want to keep you, anyway I can

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
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

Your love's so deep in the pit of my heart
Every day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you, baby
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out the door

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
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

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me, girl
Don't you go
