Lyrics Roger Miller

Roger Miller

Husbands And Wives

Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like

Houses where nobody lives

Two people, each having so much pride inside

Neither side forgives

The angry words, spoken in haste

Such a waste of two lives

It's my belief, pride is the chief cause and the decline

In the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man, a man and a woman

Some can and some can't and some can

Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like

Houses where nobody lives

Two people, each having so much pride inside

Neither side forgives

The angry words, spoken in haste

Such a waste of two lives

It's my belief, pride is the chief cause and the decline

In the number of husbands and wives

Husbands and wives
