Lyric Put Yourself In My Place

(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr./F.Thorton)

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

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
Why don t you try it baby

Put yourself in my place
