foolish pride

Daryl Hall - John Oates

(Hall)

When I'm hurt then I come on strong
I wanna break down
But I just keep it in
Being too strong is a weakness, girl
'Cause when you fight the world
You know who's gonna win
And you say I won't look you in the eye
It's like talking to a wall
But a wall can crumble down
Yeah there's something that's deep inside
That's gotta be tough
Whenever you're around

I've got this Foolish Pride
And Pride goes before a fall
Yeah I've got this Foolish Pride

You make me feel like the livin' end
But the end came quick
And made me wanna die
So I played like I didn't care
Didn't mess my hair
Believe me I don't know why

I've got this Foolish Pride
And Pride goes before a fall
Yeah I've got this Foolish Pride

If I wanted I colled have fooled 'em all
That's great 'til tomorrow when I'm all alone
You know the truth comes out in the end
