There are a lot of songs in which men beg women not to leave them and to give them a chance and so on.

In reality, this move rarely works or ever leads to a stable relationship, in fact it's pretty pathetic and embarrassing.

Yet in songs we see men act like this. Name some.

------

"Aint to Proud to Beg" - The Temptations

-A whole song of begging, self explanatory


"Bell Bottom Blues" - Derek and the Dominoes

-Clapton begging? Say it isn't so!

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I’d gladly do it

Oh the horror...

Baby Come Back - Player

Spending all my nights,
All my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes,
I'm right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Nothing left for me, ain't there nothing left for me

On Bended Knee by Boys II Men

Darlin' I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

Gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It can heal all things
We won't hurt any more
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees begging you please
Come home

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

Wanna build a new life
Just you and me
Gonna make you my wife
Raise a family

Just Another Day
Jon Secada

Morning alone
When you come home
I breath a little faster
Every time we’re together
It’d never be the same
If you’re not here
How can you stay away, away so long.

Why can’t we stay together
Give me a reason
Give me a reason.

I, I don’t wanna say it
I don’t wanna find another way
Make it through the day without you
I, I can’t resist
Try to find exactly what I missed
It’s just another day without you
It’s just another day oh

Making the time
Find the right lines
To make you stay forever
What do I have to tell you

I’m just trying to hold on to something
(trying to hold on to something good)
Oh give us a chance to make it.
To make it no no no

Don’t wanna hold on to never
I’m not that strong
I’m not that strong.

I, I don’t wanna say it
I don’t wanna find another way
Make it through the day without you
I, I can’t resist
Trying to find exactly what I missed
It’s just another day without you.

Why can’t you stay forever
Just give me a reason
Give me a reason.

Blackstreet-Don't Leave Me


What we're gonna do right here is go back
Way back
Back into time
No baby, no baby, no baby
No, no, no
If you take your love away from me
I'll go crazy
I'll go insane
No baby, no baby, no baby
No, no, no
No baby, no baby, no baby
No, no, no
You've got your problems baby
And I've got mine
Lets just end it all by putting it together, yeah
Then you say you love me
It don't mean a thing
If you cared
You'd be there
Like you used to be, yeah
I'm searching for the words to make you realize
That I really, really want you to stay
Oh, yeah
Tears of frustration I hold inside
But if you walk away
You'll make this grown man cry
[Chorus]
Don't leave
Don't leave me girl
Please stay with me tonight
Don't leave me girl
Please stay with me to
Forget my pride girl
I'm begging you
You're my heart
You're my soul
You got so much control
My love runs deeper than the ocean and sea


But if you sail away
You take the center piece of me
Repeat Chorus
No, no, no
Repeat Chorus
Stay (come on and stay with me)
Stay (don't leave)
Stay (oh, yeah, yeah)
Stay right here with me forever (I love you)
Stay (yes I do)
Stay (I need you)
Stay (don't leave with out you)
Stay right here with me forever
(No, oh, oh)
If you take your love away from me
I'll go crazy, crazy, crazy insane
If you take your love away from me
I'll go crazy
I'll go insane
If you take your love away from me
I'll go crazy
I'll go insane
Stay (please stay with me)
Stay (forever)
Stay (forever )
Stay right here with me forever
(Baby don't take your love away, no, no, no, no)
Stay (stay with me)
Stay (cuz you know I love you)
Stay (you know I need you )
Stay right here with me forever
(Yes I do, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
No, no, no
No baby, no baby, no baby

I Can't Stop Loving You
~ Ray Charles
I can't stop loving you
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours
That we once knew
Tho' long ago
Still make me blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times

I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday

Layla
~ Eric Clapton

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Chorus

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla
~ Eric Clapton



Clapton!
Stop the begging !

You're Eric Clapton, for God's sake man!

I'll Be Around by The Spinners

- tries to "bow out gracefully" but can't help waiting around


This, is our fork in the road
Love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no

You made your choice, now it's up to me
To bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key, but baby

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around

I, knew just what to say
Now I found out today
That all the words had slipped away, but I know

There's always a chance
A tiny spark remains, yeah
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again, but I know you know

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around...yeah

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Even if I have to call, I'll be there
I'll be around

Just call me at home, I'll be there
I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there
Just call out your name you know I know you know
I'll be around
