Text: Joan Armatrading. Foolish Pride.
I've been a coward
And I've run away
But I'll be a hero today
It's caution to the wind
This time I will be satisfied
I'll keep on going
And forget my pride
Forget my foolish pride
It's important
Take it seriously
Don't run away, no, don't turn
I'm showing all my hand
Say yes and we can hug and kiss
Say no and it won't stay like this
Forget your foolish pride
Say yes and we can hug and kiss
Say no and it won't stay like this
Forget your foolish pride
I've been a fool
I can see it now
But I'll be a wise man today
No grass under my feet
This time we're gonna get it right
A stupid quarrel
Won't upset our lives
Forget this foolish pride
And I've run away
But I'll be a hero today
It's caution to the wind
This time I will be satisfied
I'll keep on going
And forget my pride
Forget my foolish pride
It's important
Take it seriously
Don't run away, no, don't turn
I'm showing all my hand
Say yes and we can hug and kiss
Say no and it won't stay like this
Forget your foolish pride
Say yes and we can hug and kiss
Say no and it won't stay like this
Forget your foolish pride
I've been a fool
I can see it now
But I'll be a wise man today
No grass under my feet
This time we're gonna get it right
A stupid quarrel
Won't upset our lives
Forget this foolish pride
Armatrading, Joan
Armatrading, Joan
