Ain't Too Proud to Beg
The Funk Brothers feat. Ben Harper Lyrics

I know you wanna leave me,
I'm aware that you want to leave me

But I refuse to let you go,
However, I won't just let you leave without a fight

If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy,
Even if I have to beg and plead for you to stay with me, I will do it

I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me.
I won't be embarrassed to beg because you mean so much to me

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it,
I'm not too proud to lower myself to begging and you can tell

Please don't leave me girl,
I'm really begging you not to leave

Don't you go,
Please stay with me

Now I've heard a cryin' man
I know some people say that a man who cries has no pride

Is half a man with no sense of pride,
But I don't agree, I'm willing to cry if it means I'll keep you by my side

But if I have to cry to keep you,
If crying is what it takes to make you stay, I'll do it

I don't mind weepin' if it'll keep you by my side.
I'm not ashamed to weep if it will make you stay with me

If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep you from leaving

Just to keep you from walking away,
Even if it means I have to camp out on your doorstep

Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand,
I don't care if your friends laugh at me, I'll endure it if I have to

'cause I wanna keep you any way I can.
Because I love you so much, I'll try any method to keep you with me

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

And each day it grows more and more,
My love for you is constantly growing

I'm not ashamed to call and plead to you, baby,
I'm not embarrassed to call and beg you to stay with me

If pleading keeps you from walking out that door.
As long as begging keeps you from leaving, I'll keep doing it
