You know that you're doin' lots of things that ain't right
You're out with a different party almost every night
And you're makin' me look like a crazy fool
So, why do I have these doubts about leavin' you

Because my heart tells my stay, but my pride tells me go
But, how can I leave you when I love you so
Which way should I turn, I'd sure like to know
My heart tells me stay, but my pride tells me go

I'd be so much better off to drive you from my mind
And make you a mem'ry that I'd like to leave behind
I know that these heartaches are what you will put me thru
So, why do I have these doubts about leavin' you

Because my heart tells my stay, but my pride tells me go
But, how can I leave you when I love you so
Which way should I turn, I'd sure like to know
My heart tells me stay, but my pride tells me go
