I can see it in your eyes you got another man
For a heartbeat I sighed then swallowed my pride again
I should go and buy me a pistol
But I'd better leave you with a good old whistle blow
Take my pride then let me go
Everybody else is making money I spent my money on you
I never thought that the trade of love is so hard to look through
You kept me busy all of the time
Squeezed my lemon and then asked me for a lime to grow
Take my pride and let me go
I can't handle this any longer I'm getting weak and you're growing stronger
I knew I was losing my pride
As I fell behind and it didn't dawn on ya
I could go on and deal with the pain
But without a backbone I shouldn't play love's foolish game
So take my pride and let me go
