Azoudis - Swallow Your Pride Lyrics

It was good while it lasted, made you feel like a star
People talking about how you were going to go far
There was a flair to your stride, you had a smirk on your cheek
You were shootin'ʼ'em down, week after week
But time can be hard to those in a rush
To fall in love when it's only a crush
You got beaten down, gave yourself a bad name
For getting beat at what you thought was your game
See love is like poker, it's not not a rose
You didn't call his bluff, he left you bleeding and exposed
He's a bandit, a liar, a cheat and a thief
You were just lookin for the coolest guy you could meet
Swallow baby, swallow your pride
Nobody wants to be by your side
Swallow baby, swallow your pride
Better learn to take to take these things in stride
When you walked down the isle there were roses and wine
Words meant forever only fade with time
But who would have thought that in less than a year
You'd be alone, abandoned, left with only your tears
See life is a bitch and it's time that you learned
You attitude robbed you of the respect you deserved
But life carries on, you'll find the strength within
To learn how to walk in your black and blue skin
Swallow baby, swallow your pride
Nobody wants to be by your side
Swallow baby, swallow your pride
Better learn to take to take these things in stride
You can take the next step and leave it all behind
Those illusions of grandeur wiped away from your mind
No longer nineteen with your drama queen way
Now at thirty livin' as a divorcee
You've moved back in with your mother where it's safe inside
While you try to collect what's left of your pride
But next time around, remember one thing
Love is never enough if all you want is a ring
Swallow baby, swallow your pride
Nobody wants to be by your side
Swallow baby, swallow your pride
Better learn to take to take these things in stride
