goin' down with my pride

i don't know how much pain and ache

the average heart can take

it seems as if i've been back for more

one too many times before

fool me once

well shame on you

make it twice

guess i'm the fool

you know there comes a time to go

even though i love you so

i'm goin' down with my pride

losing love

but saving face

being strong at any price

knowin' there'll be hell to pay

standing up to walk away

well

i can hold my head up high

i might drown

but i'm goin' down with my pride

now if i were you and you were me

maybe then we both could see

why you need me one more time

and you'd understand why i'm

goin' down with my pride

losing love

but saving face

being strong at any price

just knowin' there'll be hell to pay

standing up to walk away

well

i can hold my head up high

i might drown

but i'm goin' down with my pride

goin' down with my pride

losing love

but saving face

being strong at any price

just knowin' there'll be hell to pay

standing up to walk away

well

i can hold my head up high

i might drown

but i'm goin' down with my pride
