I should have written her a note Said she still had my vote I should have let her know That I still loved her so But I waited, I waited, I waited Too long Now I stand before you all Just to remind you all That pride goes before a fall Pride goes before a fall If you don't want love to quit You must take care of it I saw the warning signs But I had so much time And I waited I waited I waited Too long Now I stand before you all Just to remind you all That pride goes before a fall Pride goes before a fall Nothing you can do, when it's gone ÔCept think about the foolish things you did And didn't do When it was there I thought I was so strong Why did I wait so long My toughness for the world I gave to her instead And I waited, I waited, I waited Too long Now I stand before you all Just to remind you all That pride goes before a fall Pride goes before a fall
