[Verse 1]
I don't know how much pain and ache
The average heart can take
It seems that I've been back for more
One too many times before
Fool me once, well shame on you
Make it twice, guess I'm the fool
You know there comes a time to go
Even though I love you so
[Chorus]
Goin' down with my pride
Losing love but saving face
Being strong at any price
Knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I may drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride
[Bridge]
If I were you and you were me, maybe then we both could see
Why you need me one more time and you'd understand why I'm
[Chorus]
Goin' down with my pride
Losing love but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowing there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I may drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride
[Chorus]
Goin' down with my pride
Losing love, saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowing there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I may drown, but I'm goin' down, goin' down
With my pride [fade out]
