I can't take this situation
It's making me feel so blue
One moment you walked into my life
And now you're saying that we're through
I hear that you're in love now
Oh babe I don't know what to say
I can't believe that I still feel this way
I hear that you're in love now
Oh babe I don't know what to say
But before you decide that you won't be mine
You'd better put yourself in my place

You know the circle will come around
You're gonna put yourself in my place
When your lovers bring you down 
And there's no one else around
You're gonna put yourself in my place

There's no rhyme or reason
That keeps me playing along
I guess that I keep believing
Inside you, love will know right from wrong
I hear that you're in love now
Oh babe I don't know what to say
But before you decide that you won't be mine
You'd better put yourself in my place

You know the circle  will come around
You're gonna put yourself in my place
When your lovers bring you down 
And there's no one else around
You're gonna put yourself in my place
