Count Basie - Japan 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 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 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 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 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 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, baby If pleading keeps you from walking out that door 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
