Hall Oates Foolish Pride lyrics

When I’m hurt then I come on strong



I wanna break down



But I just keep it in



Being too strong is a weakness, girl



’cause when you fight the world



You know who’s gonna win



And you say I won’t look you in the eye



It’s like talking to a wall



But a wall can crumble down



Yeah there’s something that’s deep inside



That’s gotta be tough



Whenever you’re around



I’ve got this foolish pride



And pride goes before a fall



Yeah I’ve got this foolish pride



You make me feel like the livin’ end



But the end came quick



And made me wanna die



So I played like I didn’t care



Didn’t mess my hair



Believe me I don’t know why



I’ve got this foolish pride



And pride goes before a fall



Yeah I’ve got this foolish pride



If I wanted I colled have fooled ’em all



That’s great ’til tomorrow when I’m all alone



You know the truth comes out in the end



When the fools start falling they need their friends
