The Isley Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl you know, I'm so proud
I know you know I'm so proud of you
Prettier than all the world
And I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you
And you're only one fella's girl
And I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you
And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste o a cherry so sweet
And I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you

Compliments to you from all the people we meet
Yes, and I'm so proud
Believe me I love you, too
I'm so proud of being loved by you

And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
Yeah, and I'm so proud of you




I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you
