Oh... when you go out with another guy, how it hurts my pride

Oh... 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, swallow up, swallow, swallow my pride

And then I kept it, yes, 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

Oh... right at the end you saw a friend and said you had to go

You walked away and left me alone

What could I say, when he walked you home

I had to, swallow up, swallow, swallow my pride

And then I kept it, yes, kept it inside

Because I've heard

That pride is such a little word

Oh... each night I pray for the, day you'll say, that you really care

Oh... I'm sure you'll find that, we'll love 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 had to, swallow up, swallow, swallow my pride

And then I kept it, yes, kept it inside

Because I've heard

That pride is such a little word

That pride is such a little word

That pride is such a little word
