We had a quarrel the other day
And I just let you walk away

(CHORUS)
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

(CHORUS)

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
