My Pride Tells Me Stay
recorded by Ray Price
written by Irene Stanton and Wayne Walker

You know you're doing lots of things that ain't right
You're out with a different party almost every night

And you're making me look like a crazy fool
So why do I have these doubts about leaving you

Because my heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go
So how can I leave you when I love you so
Which way shall I turn I'd sure like to know
My heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go

I'd be so much better off to drive you from my mind
And make you a memory that I'd like to leave behind

I know that these heartaches are what you will put me through
So why do I have these doubts about leaving you

Because my heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go
So how can I leave you when I love you so
Which way shall I turn I'd sure like to know
My heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go
