[Chorus]
Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
See if you can stand
The awful hurt I feel inside
And oh
Put yourself in my place
For just a little while
Live through the loneliness
The endless emptiness I go through
[Verse 1]
Ooh, and when you lose a little sleep at night
'Cause you ain't been treated right
Then you know heartaches are sad
Sitting by the telephone
Being left all alone
Then you know why I'm feeling bad
[Bridge]
Mmm
(Put yourself in my place)
And oh, my, my, my
[Verse 2]
Ooh, and when you're just about to go insane
'Cause it hurts to love in vain
Ask a girl who's been in love
I believed your evil line
Now I'm left alone and crying
Alone to count the stars above
Oh
[Chorus]
Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
See if you can stand
The awful hurt I feel inside
Ooh baby
Put yourself in my place
For just a little while
Why don't you try it?
Why don't you try it?
Why don't you try it baby, baby, try it?
[Outro]
Put yourself in my place
Ooh baby
C'mon and try it
C'mon and try it
Baby try it, baby try it
Put yourself in my place
Oh
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Come on and try it, ooh baby
