《I Should Be Proud》歌词

[00:00:00] I Should Be Proud (应该骄傲) - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas/The Vandellas

[00:00:03] I was under the dryer when the telegram came

[00:00:09] Private john c miller was shot down in vietnam

[00:00:14] Through my tears i read no more information at this time

[00:00:19] He's missin' in action somewhere on the delta line

[00:00:24] And they say that i should be proud he was fightin' for me

[00:00:29] They say that i should be proud those too blind to see

[00:00:35] But he wasn't fightin' for me my johnny didn't have to fight for me

[00:00:41] He was fightin' for the evils of society

[00:00:45] Now i prayed night & day that my johnny wouldn't die love

[00:00:52] Faith & hope was all that kept me alive

[00:00:58] Then 6 weeks later came that cold & heartless letter

[00:01:02] Private johnny was killed in action number 54327

[00:01:07] And they say that i should be proud

[00:01:11] He was keepin' me free

[00:01:13] They say that i should be proud

[00:01:16] Those too blind to see

[00:01:18] But he wasn't fightin' for me

[00:01:21] My johnny didn't have to die for me

[00:01:24] He was fightin' for the evils of society

[00:01:52] They shipped him home with medals of honor & glory

[00:01:57] Even our local paper ran a front-page story

[00:02:02] But the whole time gave him praisin' & said how honored i should be

[00:02:07] But i don't want no superstar just the good man they took from me

[00:02:12] And they tell me i should be proud

[00:02:16] He was fightin' for me

[00:02:18] They say that i should be proud

[00:02:21] Those too blind to see

[00:02:23] But he wasn't fightin' for me

[00:02:26] My johnny didn't have to die for me

[00:02:29] He's a victim of the evils of society

[00:02:34] I should be proud of my johnny

[00:02:39] They tell me that i should be proud

[00:02:42] They just don't want johnny for me

[00:02:45] They tell me that i should be proud of my johnny
