Take My Pride

I can see it in your eyes you got another man

For a heartbeat I sighed then swallowed my pride again

I should go and buy me a pistol

But I'd better leave you with a good old whistle blow

Take my pride then let me go

Everybody else is making money I spent my money on you

I never thought that the trade of love is so hard to look through

You kept me busy all of the time

Squeezed my lemon and then asked me for a lime to grow

Take my pride and let me go

I can't handle this any longer I'm getting weak and you're growing stronger

I knew I was losing my pride

As I fell behind and it didn't dawn on ya

I could go on and deal with the pain

But without a backbone I shouldn't play love's foolish game

So take my pride and let me go
