Ain't Too Proud

[AndreTheHyena]

"Ain't Too Proud", by Andrew "Las Cruces" D. (http://myspace.com/andrewthomas)

Style: Whiskey-soaked, depressive honky-skronk (Lucero, Hank Williams, etc)

Totally autobiographical song about an unhealthy relationship I was drowning in. Be gentle.

It's all I can do
To not cross this room
And if I should fall
Well, I'll fall down right next to you

I should've known what you had in mind
I should've never picked up the phone
And now my heart's havin' second thoughts
Oh, you cruel little girl, please take me home

And I ain't too proud to beg
I ain't too proud to cry
But I'm too ****in' proud to stay here
One more goddamn sinful night

Well, I ain't one to say no
When you corner me dead drunk
In the morning you'll drive me home
I'll see you next week or next month

I'll give you one last chance
Remind you why you never wanna leave
And why us breakin' up
Was much harder on you than me

And I ain't too proud to beg
I ain't too proud to cry
But I'm too ****in' proud to stay here
One more goddamn sweaty night

It was all your idea
It was me who always wanted to leave
But who knows what lies you've cooked up
Who knows what you believe

And now it's all I can do
To not cross this room
And if I should fall
Well, I ain't fallin' back in love
It's just the booze

And I ain't too proud to beg
I ain't too proud to cry
But I'm too ****in' proud to stay here
One more goddamn lonely night
