The Proud One

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Livin' (livin') is dyin' (dyin') 'cause love you left me cryin'
Now there's no use tryin' to go on
Each night and day, baby
Pretendin' there'll be a happy endin'
Burning down deep inside
Got a heart break that I can't hide

[Chorus]
I'm not the proud one
I need you
I'm beggin' to you baby please
You're the proud one
Believe me
This big man is down on his knees
Baby, please

[Verse 2]
Oh baby (baby), remember (baby), when you were warm and tender
Beggin' me surrender to your charms
You gave me your sweet lips
Said use them
Oh, why did I abuse them
Didn't know good from bad
Girl, I didn't know what I had

[Chorus]
I'm not the proud one
I need you
I'm beggin' to you baby please
You're the proud one
Believe me
This big man is down on his knees
Baby, please

[Spoken Interlude]
Oh, baby, I love you
Please come back
I need you
I need you

[Outro]
I'm not the proud one
I need you
I'm beggin' to you baby
Please, baby, please
Please, baby, please
Please, baby...
