Lyrics

I know you wan na leave me, but I re (C)fuse to let you go.

(F)If I have to (C)beg, plead for your sym pa thy, (F)I don’t mind, ’cause you mean that much to me.

Ain’t too proud to (C)beg,

and you know (C)it.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go.

Ain’t (F)too proud to (C)plead, (F)ba by, ba by.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go.

Now I’ve heard a cry’n’ man is half a man, with no sense of pride.

But if I have to cry to keep you, I don’t mind weep in’, if it ’ll keep you by my side.

Ain’t too proud to beg,

sweet dar lin’.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go.

Ain’t (F)too proud to (C)plead, (F)ba by, ba by.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go.

If I have to sleep on your door step all night and day just to keep you from walk in’ a way,

let your friends laugh.

E ven this I can stand, ’cause I wan na keep you (G)an y way I can.

Ain’t too proud to beg, sweet dar lin’.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go.

Ain’t (F)too proud to (C)plead, (F)ba by, ba by.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go,

oh, (F)oh.

Now I’ve got a (C)love so deep in the pit of my heart, and each day it grows more and more.

I’m not a shamed to call and plead to you, ba by, if plead in’ keeps you from (G)walk in’ out that door.

Ain’t too proud to beg, and you know (C)it.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go.

Ain’t (F)too proud to (C)plead, (F)ba by, ba by.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you (C)go.

Ain’t too proud to beg, and you know (C)it.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you go.

Ain’t (F)too proud to (C)plead, (F)ba by, ba by.

(F)Please don’t leave me, girl, (F)don’t you (C)go.

Ain’t (C)go.
