Foolish Pride

Joan Armatrading · Other Songs - Joan Armatrading

I've been a coward

And I've run away

But I'll be a hero today

It's caution to the wind



This time I will be satisfied

I'll keep on going

And forget my pride

Forget my foolish pride



It's important

Take it seriously

Don't run away, no, don't turn

I'm showing all my hand



Say yes and we can hug and kiss

Say no and it won't stay like this

Forget your foolish pride



Say yes and we can hug and kiss

Say no and it won't stay like this

Forget your foolish pride



I've been a fool

I can see it now

But I'll be a wise man today

No grass under my feet



This time we're gonna get it right

A stupid quarrel

Won't upset our lives

Forget this foolish pride
