Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses   Where nobody lives   Two people each having so much pride inside   Neither side forgives      The angry words spoken in haste   Such a waste of two lives   It's my belief pride's the chief cause in the decline   In the number of husbands and wives      A woman and a man   A man and a woman   Some can, some can't and some can't      Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses   Where nobody lives   Two people each having so much pride inside   Neither side forgives      The angry words spoken in haste   Is such a waste of two lives   It's my belief pride's the chief cause in the decline   In the number of husbands and wives   It's my belief pride's the chief cause in the decline   In the number of husbands and wives      Husbands and wives   Husbands and wives
