Pride Goes Before a Fall

Leon Payne

Might as well admit it, you don't really love me
You've been acting funny for so long
It hurts to think that you think you're above me
But it hurts more to admit that I've been wrong

Need a bottle and a table, I can find those
Maybe they will help speed up time's crazy crawl
Might as well go out and join the winos
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?
Yes, pride goes before a fall, I've got a feeling
That I'm gonna sink much lower than them all
When we first met I went way above the ceiling
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

Pour the wine, dim the lights and play the jukebox
Dance with every Sue and Betty that's around
Take her out and try your luck that's what's expected
What's the difference it can't bring your honour down
You are now a full-fledged member of the rat race

Forget everything that's decent, have a ball
What's the difference if you die in this or that place?
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?
(What's the difference if you die in this or that place?)

Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?
