The Proud One

(album: The Proud One - 1975)

Living is dying, 'cause love, you've left me crying
Now there's no use trying to go on
Each night I dream, baby, pretending
There'll be a happy ending
Burning down deep inside
Got a heartbreak that I can't hide

I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm begging 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'll be mine
I wish you could hear me, oh baby
If only you were near me
I didn't know what I had
Don't you know that I feel so bad?

I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm begging to you, baby, please
You're the proud one, believe me
This poor man is down on his knees
I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm begging to you, baby, please
You're the proud one, believe me
This poor man is down on his knees
I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm begging to you, baby, please
You're the proud one, believe me
This poor man is down on his knees
