Pride

Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]

(Wayne P. Walker - Irene Stanton)



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



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

You're out with a different crowd almost every night

You're making me look like a crazy fool

Why do I have these doubts about leaving you.



My heart tells me stay and 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 much better off to get you off of my mind

And make you a mem'ry that I'd like to leave behind

I know that misery's all you'll put me through

Why do I have these doubts about leaving you.



My heart tells me stay and 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...
