Lyrics

Husbands and Wives

[Verse]

Two broken hearts

Lonely looking like

Houses where nobody lives

Two people each

Having so much pride inside

Neither side forgives

[Chorus]

The angry words spoken in haste

Such a waste of two lives

It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline

In the number of husbands and wives

[Verse]

Two broken hearts

Lonely looking like

Houses where nobody lives

Two people each

Having so much pride inside

Neither side forgives

[Chorus]

The angry words spoken in haste

Such a waste of two lives

It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline

In the number of husbands and wives

[Bridge]

A woman and a man, a man and a woman

Some can and some can't, and some can't

[Chorus]

The angry words spoken in haste

Such a waste of two lives

It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline

In the number of husbands and wives

It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline

In the number of husbands and wives
