Pride

Ray Price · The Honky Tonk Years (1950-1966) [Bear Family (Ger [1996]

(Wayne P. Walker - Irene Stanton)



You know that you're doing lots of things that ain't right

You're out with a different party almost every night

And you're making me look like a crazy fool

So why do I have these doubts about leaving you?



Because my heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go

But how can I leave you when I love you so

Which way should I turn I'd sure like to know

My heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go.



--- Instrumental ---



I'd be so much better off to drive you from my mind

And make you the mem'ries that I'd like to leave behind

I know that these heartaches are what you will put me through

So why do I have these doubts about leaving you.



Because my heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go

But how can I leave you when I love you so

Which way should I turn I'd sure like to know

My heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go...
