Too Much Pride

You can’t make somebody love you

God knows I’ve tried

They all seem to run and hide

When I can’t get them by my side

Maybe they’ve spent the entire time

Tied up with their lies

And I’ve spent all my time

Trying not to despise

Oh but you have too much pride

Oh you can see it in their eyes

They want you near

But not to be kept

Together

I just wanna be swept

Under

By a love so true

It’ll undo

The time I’ve spent away from you

Oh you’ve got too much pride

That’s why you wanna hide

You’ve got too much pride,

too much pride

too much pride

too much pride

Oh you’re got too much pride

that’s why you wanna hide

You don’t wanna be by my side

Maybe his or her’s

But definitely not mine

I always thought you were kind

Kind enough to be mine

But I was a fool

You’ve got too much pride

too much pride

too much pride

too much pride

Oh you’ve got too much pride

that’s why you wanna hide

C’mon baby don’t you wanna find

What I’ve been hiding from you

this entire time?

That I’ve been in love with you

From the start

Oh don’t you wanna be the one

That gets to break my heart?

When it was you all along since the start?

Oh you’ve got too much pride

that’s why you wanna hide

I won’t ever tell you

That’s why I wrote this song

So you could find out for yourself

all along

I won’t be the one to feed your ego

We both know you need me though

Because you can’t live without the high

Of me chasing you

Rubbing up on your thigh

Oh you’ve got too much pride

too much pride

too much pride

too much pride

pride

pride

pride

too much pride
