"Pride Goes Before the Fall" Lyrics

(Leon Payne)

Might as well admit it, you don't really love me
You've been acting funny for so long
It hurts to think that you think you're above me
But it hurts more to admit that I've been wrong.

Need a bottle and a table, I can find those
Maybe they will help speed up time's crazy crawl
Might as well go around and join the winos
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

Yes, pride goes before a fall I've got a feeling
That I'm gonna seek much more than them all
When we first met I lived way above the city
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

Pour the wine, dim the lights and play the jukebox
Dance with every Sue and Betty that's around
Take her out and try your luck that's what's expected
What's the difference it can't bring your honour down?

You are now a full fledged member of the rat race
Forget everything that's decent, have a ball
What's the difference if you die in this old bad place
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

(What's the difference if you die in this old bad place)
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?...
