put yourself in my place if only for a day see if you can stand the awful hurt i feel inside put yourself in my place for just a little while live through the loneliness the endless emptiness i go through 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 put yourself in my place 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 put yourself in my place if only for a day see if you can stand the awful emptiness i feel inside put yourself in my place 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
