Husbands And Wives
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Performer(s): Roger Miller;
and various other artists



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 in the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man, a man and a woman
Some can, some can't and some can

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 in the number of husbands and wives
