Ain't Gonna Swallow My Pride

(album: The Last Of The Gypsies - 1989)

I'm sorry
Is such a simple lie
I'm trying
Can't get it out this time
There's nothing you can do
You finally got me to the wall

Doncha know that
You can't push me
For an apology
'Cause my feelin's
Have got a hold of me
You can make me bow down
But you're never gonna make me crawl

Doncha know that today I'm too weak to turn the cheek
Ain't gonna suck it in
Ain't gonna swallow my pride
I've drawn the line
Ain't gonna swallow my pride {No!}
Ain't gonna swallow my pride

Frustration
When I talk to you
Confrontation
Is all you do
You don't listen anymore
You feel safer when the door is closed

Don't wanna take it like a man
Gonna take a stand
Ain't gonna suck it in
Ain't gonna swallow my pride
I've drawn the line
Ain't gonna swallow my pride {No!}
Ain't gonna swallow my pride

Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm crazy for waiting so long
I had enough
This is the end
Don't come to me when you're looking for a friend

I'm not sorry
I'm not gonna lie
I'm not trying
To make it up this time
Be what you wanna be
You won't be seeing me

Doncha know that today I'm too weak to turn the cheek
Ain't gonna suck it in
Ain't gonna swallow my pride
I've drawn the line
Ain't gonna swallow my pride {No!}
Ain't gonna swallow my pride

Ain't gonna swallow my pride...
