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, don't you go
 Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
 Please don't leave me, don't you go


 Well I heard a quiet man, half a man, with no sense of pride
 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, don't you go
 Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
 Please don't leave me, 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 my friends laugh, for this I can stand
 Just so long as I keep ya, yeah, yeah, I can
 Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
 Please don't leave me, don't you go
 Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
 Please don't leave me, don't you go


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


 Well your love's so deep in the pit of my heart
 Ev'ry day it grows more and more
 I'm not ashamed to come and plead with you, baby
 If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out the door
 Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
 Please don't leave me, don't you go
 Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
 Please don't leave me, don't you go


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