I've Got My Pride

Jean Shepard · It's a Man Everytime [1965]

(Harlan Howard)



I've got my pride

I've got my pride

When the nights're cold and there's no one to hold

I've got my pride.



I should have said forgive me dear

But I've got my pride

I wanted you to hold and kiss me dear

But I've got my pride.



So I let you walk right out that door

And I kept my tears inside

Now she's got you and the love's so true

While I've got my pride.



I've got my pride

I've got my pride

When the nights're cold and there's no one to hold

I've got my pride.



--- Instrumental ---



You tried to make me listen

But I turned away

Has my heart overflood with words

I wanted to say.



My pride told me that I was right

But oh, how it lied

She's got your ring and everything

While I've got my pride.



I've got my pride

I've got my pride

When the nights're cold and there's no one to hold

I've got my pride.



When the nights're cold and there's no one to hold

I've got my pride...
