The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
