I've got my pride I've got my pride
When the nights're cold and there's no one to hold I've got my pride
I should have said forgive me dear but I've got my pride
I wanted you to hold and kiss me dear but I've got my pride
So I let you walk right out that door and I kept my tears inside
Now she's got you and the love's so true while I've got my pride
I've got my pride
[ steel - guitar ]
You tried to make me listen but I turned away
Has my heart overfloat with words I wanted to say
My pride told me that I was right but oh how it lied
She's got your ring and everything while I've got my pride
I've got my pride
When the nights're cold and there's no one to hold I've got my pride
