The Guess Who - It's My Pride lyrics

Once we were happy then suddenly you left me I said Why, oh, why? Here's what happened You got on the wrong track, yeah Then asked me to take you back My, oh, my How you hurt me Teased me Pleased him Instead of me I felt so used, you know why I refused It's my pride Oh baby, you know it It's my pride, yeah There were times when you missed me and times when you kissed me Sigh, sigh, sigh But here's what happened You shut me out from your embrace Found someone else to take my place Cry, cry, cry How you hurt me Teased me Pleased him Instead of me I lost all I could lose, you know why I refused I felt so used, you know why I refused It's my pride Oh you know it baby It's my pride, yeah I thought if I could change my way then you might come to me some day Try, try, try But here's what happened Shook me up just like a rattle And I gave up that losin' battle Why, oh, why? How you hurt me, oh Teased me, oh Pleased him, oh Instead of me, oh I felt so abused, you know why I refused It's my pride I'm gonna tell you one more time little girl It's my pride Yeah you know it baby It's my pride My pride, baby It's my pride
