(Roger Miller)

Two broken hearts lonely looking 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 is the cheif cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant

Two broken hearts lonely looking 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 is the cheif cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

It's my belief pride is the cheif cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
