Ain't Too Proud To Beg -- Temptations

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.

(**)  

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.

(**)_

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,
If pleading keeps you from walking out that door.

(**).


Like many Motown hits, it's a very emotional song, as the singer is pleading for his lover not to leave, but almost in a demanding way, as it's his last chance. He will do whatever it takes to get his girl back, even if he has to beg.   (songfacts)
