You said, “Baby, you didn't do anything wrong
So get down on your knees
You must have thought I was clay in your hands
So get down on your knees
And I said, “I'll never forgive you for this
There's just one thing you gotta do
Please, baby, please, baby
So get down on your knees
I wanna hear you say
And I'll never forget the shame that I felt
I'm stupid, I was wrong
It was maybe a month 'fore they got me to smile
And you knew it all along
And you're right 'cause I'm still mad at you
Please, baby, please, baby
Baby, swallow up your pride
So get down on your knees
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry
I'm stupid, I was wrong
And say please, baby, please, baby
And you knew it all along
And say please, oh baby, please
To get myself up off the ground
There's just something that I have to see”
And you knew it all along
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry
And say please
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry
Please, baby, please, baby
Baby, swallow up your pride
I'm stupid, I was wrong
So if you want back in my graces tonight
Baby I've never been so down
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry
And you knew it all along
I wanna hear you say
Turns out I've got a little steel in my spine
Let me hear you say please
I'm stupid, I was wrong
I know you think that I'm just being mean
Baby, swallow up your pride
After you left, you know it took me a while
Not even if you say please”
I wanna hear you say
And say please
Well baby, guess what, I'm standing just fine
That I needed the strength of your two legs to stand
Baby, swallow up your pride
When you loosened my grip on your sleeve
