Pride and the Passion

In a flash, he caught her eye He was everything she was looking for He had big cash and a Brando smile He was pretty easy to adore She tried her luck, huh I mean she played the man She sho'nuff thought she could turn him on But she got stuck when he kissed her hand And told her that he wanted to take her home Pride and the passion Laugh all night, cry all day If true love is old-fashioned Should we pass or should we play? In a flash, her life had changed (Life had changed) Everything she feared was put on trial (Everything was put on trial) Priorities rearranged (Rearranged) She said she had to have him for a little while And if he's good, he can teach her things (He can teach her things) Things about herself that she never knew And if he's the one, the shining armor knight Think of all the dirty things they could do Pride and the passion Laugh all night, cry all day 'Cause if true love is old-fashioned Should we pass or should we play? What's it gonna be? The pride or the passion, passion, passion? In a flash, she took a chance She let him take her to his crib Music played, they started to dance She said she really dug his ad-lib What went down, I don't wanna say (I don't wanna say) Destiny is yours, don't let it fool ya And if you're wrong, expect a massive drag If you're right, more power to ya Pride and the passion Laugh all night, cry all day 'Cause if true love is old-fashioned Should we pass or should we play? Pride and the passion Laugh all night, cry all day 'Cause if true love is old-fashioned Should we pass or should we play?
