I've Been There

(album: Wish Someone Would Care - 1964)

You trusted all your friends
I heard somewhere before
You're telling everyone
He's what you're looking for

But I've got news for you, girl
I know what's in store
You can take my word
For I've been there before

His whisper, "I love you"
Is all you live to hear
But there's no greater feeling
When he holds you so near

Real soon, you'll discover
He doesn't really care
You can take my word
For I've been there before

His tender words have taught
There's nothing to be caught
I've seen it happen a million times or more
A million times or more

Now that you've heard my warning
The rest is up to you
I bid my best to warn you
What more can I do?
You better stay away now
His heart, it's so untrue
You can take my word
For I've been there before
