I don't know how much pain and ache
The average heart can take
It seems as if 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

I'm 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 might drown, but I'm goin down
With my pride

Now 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

Goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride

Goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride
