martha reeves and the vandellas - i should be proud كلمات الأغنية

i was under the dryer when the telegram came
“private john c. miller was shot down in vietnam”
through my tears i read, “no more information at this time”
he’s missing in action somewhere on the delta line

and they say that i should be proud, he was fighting for me
they say that i should be proud, those too blind to see
but he wasn’t fighting for me, my johnny didn’t have to fight for me
he was fighting for the evils of society

now, i prayed night and day that my johnny wouldn’t die
love, faith, and hope was all that kept me alive
then six weeks later came that cold and heartless letter, “private john miller k!lled in action, number 54327”

and they say that i should be proud, he was keeping me free
they say that i should be proud, those too blind to see
but he wasn’t fighting for me, my johnny didn’t have to die for me, he was fighting for the evils of society

they shipped him home with medals of honor and glory
even our local paper ran a front page story
but the whole town came to praise him and said honored i should be
but i don’t want no silver star, just the good man they took from me

yet they tell me i should be proud, he was fighting for me
they said that i should be proud, those too blind to see
but he wasn’t fighting for me, my johnny didn’t have to die for me
he’s a victim of the evils of society

i should be proud, oh my johnny
they told me that i should be proud
they just took my johnny from me
told me that i should be proud
oh, i want my johnny
told me that i should be proud

- martha reeves and the vandellas
