i know you wanna leave me
but i refuse to let you go
if i have to beg and plead for your sympathy
i don’t mind ’cause you mean that much to me
ain’t too proud to beg sweet darlin’
please don’t leave me girl don’t you go
ain’t to proud to plead baby baby
please don’t leave me girl don’t you go
now i 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 sweet darlin’
please don’t leave me girl don’t you go
ain’t to 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 walkin’ away
let your friends laugh even this i can stand
’cause i want to keep you any way i can
ain’t too proud to beg sweet darlin’
please don’t leave me girl don’t you go
ain’t to proud to plead baby baby
please don’t leave me girl don’t you go

and each day it grows more and more

please don’t leave don’t leave me girl don’t you go
ain’t to proud to plead baby baby
please don’t leave me girl don’t you go
