C (bass only) 
  Now I heard a crying man is half a man, with no sense of pride. 

But if I have to cry to keep you, 
                                                 G 
I don't mind weeping, if it will keep you by my side.

If I have to sleep on your doorstep, all night and day, 

Just to keep you from waking away. 

Let your friends laugh, even this I could stand,

'Cause I want to keep you anyway I can.

Now I've got a love so deep, in the pit of my heart, 

And each day it grows more and more, 

I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby, 
                           G 
If pleading keeps you from walking out that door.
