We had a quarrel the other day And I just let you walk away 'Cause I was proud So proud and strong Yes I was much too proud to say I was wrong You turned back crying and called to me But I just stood there silently 'Cause I was proud So proud and strong Yes I was much too proud to say I was wrong Some other guy might have crawled to you And said don't go, I need you so But I wouldn't do it No, I couldn't do it And so I let you say good-bye And I was proud to let you cry Proud I held my head up high And now I'm just a proud and lonely guy
