Foolish Pride Lyrics - Hall & Oates

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
