Two broken hearts lonely, looking like 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 chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man, a man and a woman some can,
And some can, and some can't.

Two broken hearts lonely, looking like 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 chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives

Husbands and wives
