Goin' Down With My Pride

(album: Extra Mile - 1990)

I don't know how much pain and ache
The average heart can take
It seems as if I've been back for more
One too many times before
Fool me once, well shame on you
Make it twice, guess I'm the fool
You know there comes a time to go
Even though I love you so

I'm going down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Knowing there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm going down with my pride

Now if I were you and you were me
Maybe then we both could see
Why you need me one more time
And you'd understand why I'm

Going down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowing there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm going down with my pride

Going down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowing there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm going down with my pride
