You've Got To Crawl Lyrics

I got a story to tell you about a

Little girl I loved when I wanted to

Once I stayed away too long

And when I showed up again

This is what she put me through

She wouldn't answer her telephone

I'd ring her bell

And she'd say she wasn't home

I asked her, babe

What do I have to do

To get some loving from you

And she said

You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

That's what she told me, people

You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

But, oh, my pride was much too strong

And I couldn't get down on my knees

And say I was wrong

But I needed her love

I couldn't stay off the street

I'd knock on her door

And she'd only repeat

You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

That's what she said

She said, crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

Oh, I tried everything to keep my pride

But, people, I got weaker

As the days went by

I needed her love much more than I knew

So I begged for forgiveness

And asked her what I had to

She said, break down

You've got too much pride for one man

So I swallowed my pride

Yes, I did, yes, I did

And I broke down on my left knee

And I kind of looked around

To see if anybody was looking

And I broke down on my right knee

And you know what I did

I crawled, yes, I did

Back into my baby's arms

Ooh, I crawled like a baby

Back into my baby's arms

One day your baby might say

You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

Cause my baby told me

You've got to crawl before you walk

Back into these arms of mine

That's what she said, people

Crawl before you walk
