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
I was much too proud to say, I was wrong
Some other guy might have called 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, goodbye
And I was proud, I let you cry
Proud, I held my head up high
And now I'm just a proud and lonely guy
