Ain't Too Proud to Beg
Ofln - The Rolling Stones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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,
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 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 and you know it,
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 any way I can.

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it,
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 call and plead to you, baby,
If pleading keeps you from walking out that door.

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it,
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 pleading keeps you from walking out that door.
If begging means you won't leave me.

He smiles a lot in the promos from 1974. Oddly, the same year, he informed the Stones he was quitting. He was always reticent and never front and center, but he was starting to get more comfortable and had developed an excellent in-studio working relationship with Jagger. It's too bad he left.

Mick T was the lead guitarist, and he shined. It was his job, and he did it well, receiving no credit for blazing songs like ("Moonlight Mile") with Jagger when Keith was strung out and didn't play a note! There is a 1975 interview here somewhere where MT simply says he wasn't getting credit, especially moving eventually to the piano and writing. Ron Wood was a great Rhythm player, and was great with Rod, but could never touch MT. It's a Wrap!

Not so few bands, actually. I'd say many, if not most 60s rock bands did. Still, there is no clear divisory line between R&R and R&B, not in the early sixties, and certainly not in the 50s.

@fuchsiaswing8545

I had the record and liked it. Nothing earth-shattering, but it was better than anything Jagger did alone. Leather Jacket was floating on Stones’ bootlegs before he recorded it on his debut solo LP. I guess he was trying to get the Stones to record it, but it was always rejected. There are some great moments like “Baby I Want You” and “Alabama,” but “Spanish / A Minor” is a highlight. I always wished Taylor had explored his jazzier-progressive leanings more in his solo career.

Live may not matter now, but live mattered more back in the day. People went to shows more and bands had to play there ass off touring to sell records. Live playing is what makes a band. Anyone can sound great in the studio with editing etc, live you don't have that option. Mick Taylor made the band into one of the best if not the best live show. His playing, knowledge of blues/jazz licks and slide playing is godly.

Concerning the comparison between the Beatles and the Stones: I once read that the Rolling Stones knew of this comparison early on and realised The Beatles were always going to be favored and viewed as the ones with the halo. They decided if that was how it was going be, they would take the role of the antagonist and "grow horns." The rest is history. After reading that I developed a LOT more respect for the Stones.

Mick as the Mad Hatter. Or maybe the dormouse. Alice in Wonderland theme via the Stones. Gotta love it! They can do no wrong.

@joellebenoit9980

I was also thinking about Alice.

The Stones were infamous for these 'promotional' videos of their 70's material starting with "Sticky Fingers." Typically, the mix of Mick's voice (as in this track) is muted, and he indeed sings "live". Other songs like "Start Me Up" failed terribly as Mick tried to lip-sync. This video is special, it was the ONLY time Mick Taylor was at the Mic on any video I have ever seen. Mick Taylor was sick of laying the best sounds the Stones ever made and getting no credit. After this- he left.

In my opinion The Stones and Beatles are both great even if it's for different reasons.
