The Proud One
|
The Osmonds
|
(Bob Gaudio/Bob Crewe)
|
|
-Peaking at #22 in the summer of 1975, this song
|
was the last of The Osmonds' top 40 hits.
|
|
Livin' is dyin'
|
'Cause love you've left me cryin'
|
Now there's no use tryin' to go on
|
|
Each night I dream baby, pretendin'
|
There'll be a happy endin'
|
Burnin' down deep inside
|
Got a heartbreak that I can't hide
|
(Down inside, deep down inside)
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
I'm not the proud one, I need you
|
I'm beggin' to you baby, please
|
You're the proud one, believe me
|
This poor man is down on his knees
|
|
Baby, please
|
|
Oh baby, remember
|
The love we shared so tender
|
Hoping that forever you'd me mine
|
|
I wish you could hear me, oh baby
|
If only you were near me
|
I didn't know what I had
|
Don't ya know that I feel so bad
|
(Didn't know, I didn't know)
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
(Repeat chorus twice, with ad-libs from Donny, fade)
