Lyrics: Roger Miller. All Time Greatest Hits. 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 and the decline
in 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.
