Song: too proud to beg
Album: Your Secret Love
Year: 1996
Love came to me that day
Stayed longer than I planned
But change is good, they say
So I rearranged my world for them
For her and love and, here I go again
I spoke to my heart said, "Open up wide"
Then got the message
You had changed your mind
And now here I am
And I, I just don't understand
Baby, if you talk to me then I will listen
There can't be no 'Us' honey, if 'You' are missin'
Yes I love you, yes I need you
Ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
So sad the journey made
So high the price you have to pay
All for love and it
It hurts you anyway
I can't lose my soul to hope and wishing
You don't understand me, I know that you think
I don't love you, I don't need you
But, my intentions are to love you
See, I want you, I'm just too proud
To beg for your love
So don't put me through it
Take a little time to think
About what you're doing
And try to understand why
Yes I love you, yes I need you
Ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
