🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Sing it again — final chorus

  • 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
don'tbabyleave
