When you go out with another guy
How it hurts my pride
You'll never know how it hurts me so
Way down deep inside
I feel so bad, but I don't feel mad
What can I do? I love only you
And so I, swallowed up, swallowed my pride
And then I kept it, oh, kept it inside
Because I've heard
That pride is such a little word
I took you out just the other night
To a movie show
Right near the end you saw a friend
And said you'd have to go
You walked away and left me alone
What could I say when he walked you home?
I had to swallow up, swallow my pride
And then I kept it, oh, kept it inside
Because I've heard
That pride is such a little word
Each night I pray for the day you'll say
That you really care
I'm sure you'll find that you'll love me in time
Look around I'll be there
The day will come, we'll be as one
And I'll go to her, but until then
I gotta swallow up, swallow my pride
And then I kept it, oh, kept it inside
Because I've heard
That pride is such a little word
