Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives,
Two people each having so much pride inside,
Neither side forgives. 
The angry words spoken in haste,
Such a waste of two lives.
It's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man, a man and a woman,
Some can, some can't and some can.

Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives,
Two people each having so much pride inside,
Neither side forgives. 
The angry words spoken in haste,
Such a waste of two lives.
It's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives. 

Husbands and wives.
