Pride lyrics

When you go out with another guy

How it hurts my pride

You'll never know how it hurts me so

Way down deep inside

I feel so bad, but I don't feel mad

What can I do? I love only you

And so I, swallowed up, swallowed my pride

And then I kept it, oh, kept it inside

Because I've heard

That pride is such a little word

I took you out just the other night

To a movie show

Right near the end you saw a friend

And said you'd have to go

You walked away and left me alone

What could I say when he walked you home?

I had to swallow up, swallow my pride

And then I kept it, oh, kept it inside

Because I've heard

That pride is such a little word

Each night I pray for the day you'll say

That you really care

I'm sure you'll find that you'll love me in time

Look around I'll be there

The day will come, we'll be as one

And I'll go to her, but until then

I gotta swallow up, swallow my pride

And then I kept it, oh, kept it inside

Because I've heard

That pride is such a little word
