Holland/Whitfield 



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





Aint to proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Aint to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go



Now I've heard a crying man is half a man

With no sense of pride

But if I have to cry to keep you

I don't mind weeping

If it'll keep you by my side



Aint to proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

(Don't you go away) 

Aint to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go



Aint to proud to beg, sweet darling

Aint to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go



INSTRUMENTAL



(Don't you go away)

(Don't you go away)



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



Aint to proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Aint to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go



Aint to proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Aint to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go



Put yourself in my place

I only for a little while

Come on, try it, come on, try it

Come on, try it (try it, try it, try it)

Put yourself in my place

I only for a little while

Come on, try it, come on, try it

Come on, try it (try it, try it, try it)



Aint to proud to beg, sweet darling

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Aint to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
