I'm not so much a schemer
As I am a full time dreamer
And I'm not so much unhappy
as I am dissatisfied
and I'm really not a loser
but I'm surely not a keeper
and I'd call on you this morning
but I have my pride
CHORUS:
And I have pride, bitter pride
with my coffee every morning
And I have leftover pride
with my dinner at night
And what good does it do me
when I need someone to love me
just the cold consolation
of knowing that I'm right
Oh pride is it a liar
and the fastest gun for fire
and no reasonable reason for living alone
for pride cannot hold me
in the dark hours of the morning
when my body is aching, it won't come
CHORUS:
And I have pride, bitter pride
with my coffee every morning
And I have leftover pride
with my dinner at night
And what good does it do me
when I need someone to love me
just the cold consolation
of knowing that I'm right
