Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
See if you can stand
The awful hurt I feel inside
And, oh, oh
Put yourself in my place
For just a little while
Live through the loneliness
The endless emptiness I go through
And then you lose a little sleep at night
Cause you ain't been treated right
You know, heartaches are sad
Sitting by the telephone
Being left all alone
Then you'll know why I'm feeling bad
(Put yourself in my place)
And, oh, on my mind
And when you're just about to go insane
Cause it hurts to love in vain
Ask a girl who's in love
I believed your evil line
Now I'm left alone and crying
Alone to count the stars above
Put yourself in my place
Only for a day
See if you can stand
The awful hurt I feel inside
Ooh, baby
Put yourself in my place
Just a little while
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it
Baby, baby, try it
Put yourself in my place
Ooh, baby
Come on and try it
Come on and try it
Baby, try it, baby, try it
