Pride
Pride
What's it like to be a god?
Pride
I know that question sounds so odd
I done tried
To make you want to marry me
I might as well have died
So go ahead and bury me
Just bury me
Something strange happens inside me
When I hear this girl experimenting with cuss words
There's pride in everything you do
That's why I'm proud of you
It's a roller coaster ride, you see
When you sit astride me
I give up all my pride to thee
When you sit astride me
Someday I'll decide to be
The one who will not hide from thee
It's easy to confide in thee
When you sit astride me
I need you to guide me
To the other side, you see
When you sit astride me, pride
Pride
Every day I count on thee to bring some happy weather to my crib
My crib
Baby darlin' what's that little flower
That you're wearin' in your hair?
Is it representative of the condition
That you're finding everywhere?
Oh, darlin' baby what's that little tag
That you're wearin' on your sleeve?
Does it tell the world that you've been
Playing hooky from the University?
Baby Calamity, open up your eyes and see
Love is gonna come your way and life won't be such a tragedy
It's a roller coaster ride, you see
When you sit astride me
I give up all my pride to thee
When you sit astride me
Someday I'll decide to be
The one who will not hide from thee
It's easy to confide in thee
When you sit astride me
I need you to guide me
To the other side, you see
When you sit astride me
What's your name? What's your name?
I'm the Question-and-Answer Man
Give me a problem and I'll do what I can
I see you covet something beyond belief
So you ask yourself how much must I pay?
But see that little tag hangin' off her sleeve?
It says, not for sale, merely on display
H I J K L M N O P
You are mystifying me
It's too bad you denied me
But thank you for the ride with thee
Bad is me tied up with thee
Worse is thee tied down with me
You never sat astride me
But now I know what it's like to sit beside thee, pride
Every day I count on thee to bring some happy weather to my crib
But when you don't, I won't ask why, I'll let you live
What's it like to be a god?
Pride
I know that question sounds so odd
I done tried
To make you want to marry me
I might as well have died
So go ahead and bury me
Just bury me
Something strange happens inside me
When I hear this girl experimenting with cuss words
There's pride in everything you do
That's why I'm proud of you
It's a roller coaster ride, you see
When you sit astride me
I give up all my pride to thee
When you sit astride me
Someday I'll decide to be
The one who will not hide from thee
It's easy to confide in thee
When you sit astride me
I need you to guide me
To the other side, you see
When you sit astride me, pride
Pride
Every day I count on thee to bring some happy weather to my crib
