Lyrics

Two broken hearts lonely, lookin' like
Houses where nobody lives
Two people each havin' 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
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't
Two broken hearts lonely, lookin' like
Houses where nobody lives
Two people each havin' 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
In the number of husbands and wives
