Proud Of You

Lyrics

[Intro Monologue] Darling... you know, you give a man a reason for living Not to mention... you take my paycheck Now, baby... but, I give it to you because I love you You know, because of the things that I feel so proud about The things that you do, you know... like... Running my car into the telephone post... But I still love you, baby – I didn't get mad, did I? Y-y-you 'member, you remember when... W-w-when I told you to take my clothes to the cleaners And on the way out, my very best pinstripe caught a nail? I didn't get mad I was proud, because you thought, enough of your man to be in such a hurry It made me feel grand, yes it did Ohh, I need you...
