Put Yourself In My Shoes

Well i sit here all alone
No one's gonna do me wrong tonight
It seems i've been through it all
And there's no one i could call to get it right
And everywhere i go
Everyone seems so settled in
And sure of where they're going
Well i don't know what i need
Since i've been freed
I'm a horse without a rider
And there's no one left to take the lead
I've been loving blind
Loving every heart i could call mine
I've been loving blind
So sure there was something i could find
But i just couldn't see
There was nothing there for me
Now there's a smile on my face
No there's no trace of the pain
I know i've been through it all
And i know those tears won't fall again
But oh the times i thought
Someone's heart i'd caught
Well, i was fooled oh and i regret
I was so naive
Oh and i'd believe them when they'd tell me
That's as good as love can get
And i've been loving blind
Loving every heart i could call mine
And i've been loving blind
So sure there was something i could find
But i just couldn't see
There was nothin' there for me

Ain't that the way the luck goes
Seems like it never can be found
Break my back to make those bank notes
Payin' on an almost always broken down
Fix that car nine ways to sunday
And it won't start again when monday rolls around
Ain't that the way the rent goes
Seems like it's never goin' down
And that banker's bound to foreclose
At this rate, i'll lose my interest in this town
Paint the walls mend the windows
'bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground
I've been footin' the bill for some time
Stretchin' my credit out of line
Well i may not get ahead but now i won't be far behind
I've got one more payment and it's mine
We're gonna swing it
Ain't that the way the heart goes
Seems they just attack without a sign
My mind's been on vacation
And my body's been workin' overtime
But i've done all that i can do
There's just one more balance due before it's mine
I've been footin' the bill for some time
Step by step and line by dotted line
Well i haven't bought the farm yet
But i'm not that far behind
I've got one more payment and it's mine
One more payment and it's mine
One more payment and it's mine
One more
One more
One more

Your mind is made up you won't even try
You didn't even cry this time
You say that we could never see eye to eye
And one of us just must be blind
We have our differences
We're still the same
See what we want to see
But you take a second look
And maybe things wouldn't seem the same
If you could see what you mean to me
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a mile for me
I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy
And if i could only put myself in your shoes
I'd walk right back to me
You're gonna keep walkin' and you're gonna pass me by
You say you don't even care
But i could always recognize a real good-bye
And i know your heart's not there
We've had our differences
We're still the same
Hear what we want to hear
Now i'm head over heels in the lost and found
It's a cryin' shame
I thought we made the perfect pair
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a while walk that mile for me
I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy
And if i could only put myself in your shoes
I'd walk right back to me
I'd walk right back to me
I'd walk right back to me
