Pride from Jeffrey Todd by Jeff Dodgen

Verse 1
Headstrong my headlights on
I can write till the day is done
but i can’t sing a melody
push my bottom lip through my teeth
and oh so the story goes
inside out white oreo
and i fall in the winter snow
round and round did mary go

Pre-Chorus
she said Ohh Ohh ohh
Ohh Ohh ohh ohh ohh

Chorus
Please don’t take my pride
Please don’t take my pride
you can chose to hate me,
and i guess you picked your side
ba buh duh buh buh
ba da duh duh duh duhda
Please don’t take my pride

Verse 2
baby come back to bed
and make sure you rest your head
did you listen to what i said
its a life and death request.

Pre-Chorus
she said Ohh Ohh ohh
Ohh Ohh ohh ohh ohh

Chorus
Please don’t take my pride
Please don’t take my pride
you can chose to hate me,
and i guess you picked your side
ba buh duh buh buh
ba da duh duh duh duhda
Please don’t take my pride

(Skat/Vocal solo)
oh yeah

Verse 3
Im no ones special type
color me in black and white
but how do i sleep at night
when my baby’s here then I'm just fine
and i think it is time i go
walk out side that open door
and oh oh the crowd will go
they won’t see my face no more.

Pre-Chorus
she said Ohh Ohh ohh
Ohh Ohh ohh ohh ohh

Chorus
Please don’t take my pride
Please don’t take my pride
you can chose to hate me,
and i guess you picked your side
ba buh duh buh buh
ba da duh duh duh duhda
Please don’t take my pride
