It's My Pride

Once we were happy then suddenly you left me I said

Why, oh, why?

Here's what happened

You got on the wrong track, yeah

Then asked me to take you back

My, oh, my

How you hurt me

Teased me

Pleased him

Instead of me

I felt so used, you know why I refused

It's my pride

Oh baby, you know it

It's my pride, yeah

There were times when you missed me and times when you kissed me

Sigh, sigh, sigh

But here's what happened

You shut me out from your embrace

Found someone else to take my place

Cry, cry, cry

How you hurt me

Teased me

Pleased him

Instead of me

I lost all I could lose, you know why I refused

I felt so used, you know why I refused

It's my pride

Oh you know it baby

It's my pride, yeah

I thought if I could change my way then you might come to me some day

Try, try, try

But here's what happened

Shook me up just like a rattle

And I gave up that losin' battle

Why, oh, why?

How you hurt me, oh

Teased me, oh

Pleased him, oh

Instead of me, oh

I felt so abused, you know why I refused

It's my pride

I'm gonna tell you one more time little girl

It's my pride

Yeah you know it baby

It's my pride

My pride, baby

It's my pride
