[Verse 1]
 
N.C.
 I know you wanna leave me;
E         B
  But I refuse to let you go.
E            B
If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy;
E       B
I don't mind, 'cos you mean that much to me.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E                  B    E         B
Ain't too proud to beg,   and you know it,
E            B              E         B
Please don't leave me girl; don't you go.
      E            B      E     B
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby,
E            B              E         B     E
Please don't leave me girl; don't you go.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
       B
Now, I heard a cryin' man is half a man,
E      B
  With no sense of pride.
    E            B                             E
But if I have to cry to keep you; I don't mind weepin',
           B                 F#
If it will keep you by my side.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                  B    E       B
Ain't to proud to beg,   sweet darlin',
E             B              E         B
 Please don't leave me girl; don't you go.
       E            B      E     B
 Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby,
E            B              E         B
Please don't leave me girl; don't you go.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
E            B                                      E
If I have to sleep on your door step, all night and day
        B
Just to keep you from walkin' away.
E          B                               E
  Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand,
         B                F#
 Cause I want to keep ya; any way I can.
 
 
[Chorus]

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin',
E            B              E         B
Please don't leave me girl; don't you go.
E                  B      E     B
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby,

[Verse 4]
 
            B
Now I got a love so deep in the pit of my heart,
E          B
  And each day it grows more and more.
E           B                               E
  I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you, baby,
   B                       F#
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
B                  E            B
Ain't too proud to beg, and you know it,
E             B              E         B
 Please don't leave me girl; don't you go.
      E            B      E     B
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby,
E            B         E         B   E
Please don't leave me; don't you go.
