Swallowing Pride - Don Dixon

He’s a fool for conditions

He’s a sucker for gold

Hammers you to submission

Never loses control

I was there when he met you

I was always amazed

Never let him upset you

I was always afraid

I’ve heard you talk about swallowing pride

I’ve heard you laugh about swallowing pride

I’ve heard you cry a lot

I wonder why

I’m the soul you can count on

I’m the face you can trust

A secret door to rely on when you’ve taken enough

Oh you know, I’ll be there when he’s left you

I’ll be ever amazed

Always willing to help you with the love of a slave

I’ve learned you laugh about swallowing pride

I’ve learned you talk about swallowing pride

Learned when to block it out

Learned to deny

I’ve heard you talk about swallowing pride

I’ve heard you laugh about swallowing pride

I’ve heard you cry a lot

I wonder why
