Lyrics
PRIDE
WE COULD HAVE HAD A GOOD THING
BUT PRIDE GOT IN THE WAY
WE COULD HAVE HAD THE GREATEST LOVE, BUT
PRIDE GOT IN THE WAY
I COULD SEE YOU WERE HURTIN
BUT THERE WAS NOTHIN THAT I COULD SAY
HOW CAN WE TURN THE HANDS OF TIME BACK
TO A BETTER DAY
NOW I KNOW THAT YOU'VE LOVED ME
BUT I GOT TO KNOW WHERE I STAND
IF WE COULD ONLY OPEN UP AND
GIVE ONE ANOTHER A HAND
AND JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ALL GROWN UP
DOESN'T MEANT THAT WE CAN'T EVER CRY
AND JUST BECAUSE WE'VE MADE MISTAKES
DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
SOLOS
WE COULD HAVE HAD A GOOD THING
BUT PRIDE GOT IN THE WAY
WE COULD HAVE HAD THE GREATEST LOVE, BUT
PRIDE GOT IN THE WAY
I COULD SEE YOU WERE HURTIN
BUT THERE WAS NOTHIN THAT I COULD SAY
HOW CAN WE TURN THE HANDS OF TIME BACK
TO A BETTER DAY
