I've got a free will
No restraints or evictions
I know what makes you tick
And that's my best defense

Sometimes I think I don't know you
But then you're so predictable
I always thought I could love you
Then you shot me full of holes

You can't ruin me
I still have my pride
You can't ruin me
I still have my pride
No matter how hard you try
I still have my pride
You can't ruin me

Trusting something to rely on
Somewhere along the line it ends
You got no one to lean on
You betrayed me as a friend

You keep begging for forgiveness
It's a test of emotionality
It's hard to forgive and forget, yeah
Maybe I ought to try it sometime
You can't ruin me
I'll still have my pride
You can't ruin me
I'll still have my pride
No matter how hard you try
I'll still have my pride
You can't ruin me
No!

You can't ruin me
I'll still have my pride
You can't ruin me
I'll still have my pride
No matter how hard you try
I'll still have my pride
You can't ruin me

You say you want to come around
I don't want you to duck in my door
Ain't no reason why you should
I ain't in the mood to be let down

You keep begging for forgiveness
It's a test of emotionality
It's hard to forgive and forget, yeah
Maybe I ought to try it sometime
But not now
