Holland-Dozier-Holland - Put Yourself in My Place lyrics

[Chorus] Put yourself in my place If only for a day See if you can stand The awful hurt I feel inside, oh and Put yourself in my place For just a little while Live through the loneliness The endless emptiness I go through [Verse 1] Oh, 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 [Chorus] Oh put yourself in my place If only for a day Why don't you try it Why don't you try it Come on try it baby Put yourself in my place For just a little while Come on baby Come on baby Come on baby [Verse 2] 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 every line Now I'm left alone to cry Alone to count the stars above [Chorus] Oh put yourself in my place If only for a day Come on baby Come on baby Come on try it baby Put yourself in my place For just a little while Come on baby Come on baby Come on try it baby Oh put yourself in my place If only for a day Why don't you try it Come on baby Why don't you try it baby
