In a flash
He caught her eye
He was everything she was looking
He had big cash and a Brando smile
He was pretty easy 2 adore
She tried her luck, huh
I mean she played the man
She sho'nuff thought she could turn him on
But she got (stuck)
Stuck when he kissed her hand
And told her that he wanted 2 take her home
Pride and the pa**ion
Laugh all night
Cry all day
If true love is old-fashioned
Should we pa** or should we play?
In a flash
Her life had changed
(Life had changed)
Everything she feared was put on trial
(Everything was put on trial)
Priorities rearranged
(Rearranged)
She said she had 2 have him 4 a little while
And if he's good
He can teach her things
(He can teach her things)
Things about herself that she never knew
And if he's the one
The shining armor knight
Think of all the dirty things they could do
Pride and the pa**ion
Laugh all night
Cry all day
Cuz if true love is old-fashioned
Should we pa** or should we play?
What's it gonna be?
The pride or the pa**ion, pa**ion, pa**ion?
In a flash
She took a chance
She let him take her 2 his crib
Music played
They started 2 dance
She said she really dug his ad-lib
What went down
I don't wanna say
(I don't wanna say)
Destiny is yours
Don't let it fool ya
And if U're wrong
Expect a ma**ive drag
If U're right
More power 2 ya
Pride
Pride and the pa**ion
Pride and the pa**ion, ooh
The pride and the pa**ion
Oh, pride and the pa**ion
