My Girl
Eddie Johns Lyrics

I know you wanna leave me,
I am aware that you have the desire to leave me,

But I refuse to let you go,
I am determined to keep you close no matter the cost,

If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy,
I am willing to beg and plead for your understanding and compassion,

I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me.
I do not care about how it may make me appear, as you mean everything to me.

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it,
I have no shame in admitting that I am begging for your affection,

Please don't leave me girl,
I implore you to not leave me,

Don't you go,
Do not leave my side,

Now I've heard a cryin' man
I am aware of the reputation that men who cry have,

Is half a man with no sense of pride,
Society sees men who cry as weak and without pride,

But if I have to cry to keep you,
If showing my emotions is what it takes to keep you with me,

I don't mind weepin' if it'll keep you by my side.
I am willing to cry, as long as it keeps you close to me.

If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day
If I must spend all my time and energy waiting for you,

Just to keep you from walking away,
To ensure that you do not leave me,

Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand,
Even if your friends mock me for my actions, I am willing to tolerate it,

'cause I wanna keep you any way I can.
I will do anything to keep you by my side.

Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart,
My love for you is incredibly strong and deep,

And each day it grows more and more,
My love for you only continues to intensify each day,

I'm not ashamed to call and plead to you, baby,
I feel no shame in reaching out to you and begging for your love,

If pleading keeps you from walking out that door.
If begging and pleading keeps you with me, then I will continue to do so.
