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 in the decline 
Of 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't 
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 
Its my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline 
Of the number of husbands and wives 
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline 
Of the number of husbands and wives
