Not a matter of pride
She knows, he thinks about her, though the times are not so grand
But you can only play the cards you're holding in your hands
She knows he thinks of leavn', doesn't want to let him go
While there's something left unfinished, something that she needs to know
She says "let's decorate the bedroom, D I Y* from the super store."
But he's five cans down a sixpack, he's not listening anymore
Yet she feels, his heart is kinder then he wants to let her think
So she exercises patience, does the dishes in the sink
Take your time till you decide,
It's a matter of love not a matter of pride
When people get close, they sometimes collide.
Oh, how the truth gets turned into lies.
He says "I wish I had some money
Let's show this town a thing or two,
See my woman let her hair down like she always wanted to
Though I'm just a weekend dreamer, still my heart's not far away
Would she be better if I leave her or better if I stay?
Take your time till you decide,
It's a matter of love not a matter of pride
When people get close, they sometimes collide
Oh, how the truth gets turned into lies
He doen't want another woman, she doesn't look at other men
An affair might be exciting, yet disappoint you in the end
They both know there's something missing
Floating just beyond their reach
In this lover's search and rescue will they find, what they might keep?
Take your time till you decide,
It's a matter of love not a matter of pride
When people get close, they sometimes collide
Oh, how the truth gets turned into lies
* Do It Yourself
