Husbands and Wives Lyrics

[Verse]
Two broken hearts
Lonely looking like
Houses where nobody lives
Two people each
Having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

[Chorus]
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

[Verse]
Two broken hearts
Lonely looking like
Houses where nobody lives
Two people each
Having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

[Chorus]
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
[Bridge]
A woman and a man, a man and a woman
Some can and some can't, and some can't

[Chorus]
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
