Text: Frankie Valli. The Proud One.

Livin' is dyin' 'cause, love, you left me cryin?
(Lyin?, dyin?)
Now there's no use tryin' to go on
Each night and day, baby

Pretendin' there'll be a happy endin'
Burning down deep inside
Got a heart break that I can't hide

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

Oh baby, remember when you were warm and tender
(Baby, baby)
Beggin' me surrender to your charm
You gave me your sweet lips, said use them

Oh, why did I abuse them
Didn't know good from bad
Girl, I didn't know what I had

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

Oh baby, I love you
Please come back
I need you, I need you

I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm beggin' to you, baby, please
