The Temptations Ain't too Proud to Beg Lyrics:
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, yes 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 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, sweet darlin',
Plee-eease 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 walkin' away.
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand,
'Cause I want to keep you any way I can.

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'.
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.)

Hoo-hoo-hoo-ooo.

[Instrumental break with vocal stylings.]

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 come and plead to you, baby,
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door.

Ain't too proud to beg, yes you know it,
Ple-eeease 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.)
[Fade.]
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, darlin'...(Sweet darling.)
