Brooks & Dunn – Husbands And Wives Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two broken hearts, lonely, lookin’ like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each havin’ 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, some can’t, some can’t
[Verse 2]
Oh, two broken hearts lonely lookin’ like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each havin’ so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
[Chorus]
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Oh, it’s my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
[Outro]
Yeah, it’s my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
