I Take Pride

I drop the needle and feel the pain
I fill up my heart
With something good for a change
'Cause a man like me can't afford to die
When a man like me can't afford to live

I take pride in my work
I take pride in my hurt
I take pride in my work
And I say what I mean for what that's worth
For what it's worth

I drop the needle and wash my face
I pick up my heart
And put it back into it's place
Man it sure sounds like we're getting somewhere now

These songs are holding a light for me
In the darkness I need you next to me
Baby look into my eyes
Baby look into my eyes

I take pride in our love
I take pride in our love
I take pride in our love

Will you please excuse me while I blush
'Cause you have given me so much
And I hope I never have to give it up

I take pride in my work
I take pride in my hurt
I take pride in my work
And I say what I mean for what that's worth
For what it's worth
