AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG
(Written by Edward Holland, Jr. / Norman Whitfield) 
The Temptations


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 

Ain't too proud to beg, and you know it (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) 

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 too 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 walking away 
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand 
'Cause I wanna 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) 

Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart 
And each day it grows more and more 
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby 
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door 

Ain't too proud to beg, yes you know it (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) 
Baby, baby, baby (sweet darlin') 
Please don't leave me, girl
