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
