Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
And two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief, pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man

Some can and some can't, some can't

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
And two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

Oh, it's my belief, pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wive
