If you put yourself in my place
You'd know the meaning of misery
Sleepless nights, tall, singing, turning,
days and nights of worry and of wondering.
Just put yourself in my place,
then you will realize why there are tears, so many tears
How can you stand there, oh,
and tell me that girl was just an old friend when I've seen
you with her time, time, and time, and time again,
oh, maybe she doesn't mean a thing
But darling, you don't know
If you put yourself in my place
You wouldn't see her anymore
You would learn to treat me right
You wouldn't go out at night
just put yourself in my place
Oh, put yourself in my place
And then maybe you'd learn
And maybe you wouldn't stay up late at night
