Husbands and Wives Roger Miller

[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

[Post-Chorus]
A woman and a man, a man, and a woman
Some can and some can't and some can't

[Verse 2]
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
