Livin' is dyin''Cause love you've left me cryin'Now there's no use tryin' to go onEach night I dream baby, pretendin'There'll be a happy endin'Burnin' down deep insideGot a heartbreak that I can't hide(Down inside, deep down inside)Chorus:I'm not the proud one, I need youI'm beggin' to you baby, pleaseYou're the proud one, believe meThis poor man is down on his kneesBaby, pleaseOh baby, rememberThe love we shared so tenderHoping that forever you'd me mineI wish you could hear me, oh babyIf only you were near meI didn't know what I hadDon'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)From: "David Hayman"
