The Proud One

Livin' is dyin'

'Cause love you've left me cryin'

Now there's no use tryin' to go on

Each night I dream baby, pretendin'

There'll be a happy endin'

Burnin' down deep inside

Got a heartbreak that I can't hide

(Down inside, deep down inside)

Chorus:

I'm not the proud one, I need you

I'm beggin' to you baby, please

You're the proud one, believe me

This poor man is down on his knees

Baby, please

Oh baby, remember

The love we shared so tender

Hoping that forever you'd me mine

I wish you could hear me, oh baby

If only you were near me

I didn't know what I had

Don't ya know that I feel so bad

(Didn't know, I didn't know)

(Chorus)

(Repeat chorus twice, with ad-libs from Donny, fade)
