Baillie And The Boys - I've Been There Lyrics

Sheesh!

Did he say there's no-one in the world but you?
I've been there.
An' did he carve your name on his tattoo?
I've been there.
And does he make you wait by the telephone,
'Cos he knows you're always there?
And does he say he's yours and yours alone?
Well, Darlin', I'd beware.

I've been there, and I know what you're goin' through.
I've been there, and I know what his love can do.
It can lift you up, then let you down.
Drive your heart all over town,
He'll say that he's your answered prayer,
Well, don't believe him, girl, 'cos I've been there.

Does he make you feel like a million bucks?
I've been there.
Like he's a wild high roller and you're Lady Luck.
I've been there.
And does he melt your heart with those big brown eyes,
An' the way he calls your name?
An' do you still believe him when you know he's lyin',
Girl, you're goin' insane!

I've been there, an' it's a hell of a place to be.
I've been there, just look what he's done to me.
I'm losin' all my faith in men,
I'm smokin' cigarettes again.
I walk the floor, I cut my hair,
I lost my mind, Lord knows, I've been there.

I'm only talkin' to you, friend-to-friend.
You think he loves you now,
But he'll leave you in the end.

Instrumental break.

You gotta lock your heart and walk away,
You'll live to love another day.
Pretend to vanish to thin air,
Because you don't need him,
I know, I've been there.
I've been there.

(I've been there.)
