[Intro]
Don't let foolish pride get in the way of a good love
(Of a good love)
Like yours and mine

[Verse 1]
How could you let me walk outside your door
When there's so much you wanted to say?
How could you just pretend you could ignore
All the feelings that true love has made, ooh baby

(Ooh baby, ah baby) I was right there by your side
Through good and bad, ooh baby
(Ooh baby, ah baby) Let me know the reason why
You're treating me so bad

[Chorus]
Don't let foolish pride get in the way of a good love
Like yours and mine
Don't let foolish pride make you say things
That you don't mean

[Verse 2]
Ooh, my baby, my sweet baby
I'm the one you held so dear
Now that the weather here is changing
You don't even want me near
You know in the beginning, everything was rosy
Everything was a-okay
Now you're telling me to go
I guess I'll be on my way

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh baby, ah baby) I was right there by your side
Through good and bad, ooh baby
(Ooh baby, ah baby) Let me know the reason why
You're treating me so bad

[Chorus]
Don't let foolish pride get in the way of a good love
Like yours and mine
Don't let foolish pride make you say things
That you don't mean
Don't let foolish pride get in the way of a good love
Like yours and mine
Don't let foolish pride make you say things
That you don't mean

[Bridge]
I gotta know, I wanna know
Foolish pride

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh baby, ah baby) I was right there by your side
Through good and bad, ooh yeah
(Ooh baby, ah baby) Let me know the reason why
You're treating me so bad

[Chorus]
Don't let foolish pride get in the way of a good love
Like yours and mine
Don't let foolish pride make you say things
That you don't mean (Oh, yeah yeah)

[Bridge]
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it get in the way now
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it get in the way now
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it get in the way now
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it get in the way now

[Chorus]
Don't let foolish pride get in the way of a good love
Like yours and mine
Don't let foolish pride make you say things
That you don't mean

Brownstone is an female R&B trio that came to fame in the mid-90’s. The original members of the group were Nicci Gilbert, Monica “Mimi” Doby, and Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell.

They released their debut album From The Bottom Up on Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music label. It featured the #1 R&B smash “If You Love Me”.

Before recording their second album Still Climbing, they replaced Monica “Mimi” Doby with Kina Cosper. The second album yielded a solid hit in “5 Miles To Empty”, but the group disbanded before a third album could materialize.
