Pride Goes Before a Fall Lyrics


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 wrongNeed a bottle and a table, I can find those
Maybe they will help speed up time's crazy crawl
Might as well go around 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 honor downYou 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?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India.

His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

Added 01: One interesting fact was that he recorded an album in Afrikaans for Afrikaners in South Africa. How do I know? I bought the LP many years ago.
