LYRICS:
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 Im 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 lyin'
Now I'm left alone and cryin'
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
For just a little while
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it baby
Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
Why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it baby
Baby try it.....
Put yourself in my place
