Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Oh, it's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline of the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man, a man and a woman
Some can, some can't
Some can't

Oh, two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Whoa, it's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline of the number of husbands and wives
Whoa, it's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline of the number of husbands and wives
