Not a Matter of Pride

Not a matter of pride She knows, he thinks about her, though the times are not so grand But you can only play the cards you're holding in your hands She knows he thinks of leavn', doesn't want to let him go While there's something left unfinished, something that she needs to know She says "let's decorate the bedroom, D I Y* from the super store." But he's five cans down a sixpack, he's not listening anymore Yet she feels, his heart is kinder then he wants to let her think So she exercises patience, does the dishes in the sink Take your time till you decide, It's a matter of love not a matter of pride When people get close, they sometimes collide. Oh, how the truth gets turned into lies. He says "I wish I had some money Let's show this town a thing or two, See my woman let her hair down like she always wanted to Though I'm just a weekend dreamer, still my heart's not far away Would she be better if I leave her or better if I stay? Take your time till you decide, It's a matter of love not a matter of pride When people get close, they sometimes collide Oh, how the truth gets turned into lies He doen't want another woman, she doesn't look at other men An affair might be exciting, yet disappoint you in the end They both know there's something missing Floating just beyond their reach In this lover's search and rescue will they find, what they might keep? Take your time till you decide, It's a matter of love not a matter of pride When people get close, they sometimes collide Oh, how the truth gets turned into lies * Do It Yourself
