The Everly Brothers
"Husbands And Wives"


Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It’s my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some can’t and some can’t

Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Its my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

It’s my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
