Pride

What would you do if I pricked your balloon? Would you burst into tears and run to your room? Or say it's just once in a very blue moon Would you be aware you were leaking air? Would you know some bitch of a witch somewhere? Who's sticking pins in you, pins in you?L Pride won't let you walk away Without blood on your fists Pride won't let you walk away 'Til you've ticked off your list Come on baby, strut your stuff [?] 'cause you're tough enough 'Til pride is satisfied and we can all go home When you're [?] like you it's hard to be humble You never think twice, you never stumble The seeds of doubt, they never rumble Vanity! Vanity! All is vanity! Do you feel something for the rest of humanity? We can't live up to you, up to you, up to you Pride won't let you walk away Without blood on your fists Pride won't let you walk away 'Til you've ticked off your list You look so majestic standing there With the playful breeze blowing in your hair 'Til pride is satisfied and we can all go home Show 'em what's wrong, show 'em how to do it They fluffed it, they muffed it, they scuffed it, they blew it The spanner's in the works and you know who threw it A coupon short of a toaster there Will you use your wit or your famous stare To write the symphony, infamy, infamy? Pride won't let you walk away Without blood on your fists Pride won't let you walk away 'Til you've ticked off your list Come on baby, strut your stuff [?] 'cause you're tough enough 'Til pride is satisfied and we can all go home --- Pride - Richard Thompson
