The Hollies

Put Yourself In My Place

(L. Ransford = Alan Clarke, Tony Hicks & Graham Nash)

Track 3 on album 'The Hollies' (september 1965)





So you gotta put yourself in my place

I don't want to lose face



People talking 'round town

Telling me that you've been putting it round

That your love for me

So they say

It's hard to realize

That I love you this way

So you gotta put yourself in my place

Don't want to lose face



Coz you're telling these lies

Everyone will think it's no surprise

That you're leaving me today

I never thought that I'd see you walking away

So you gotta put yourself in my place

Don't want to lose face



So your friends turn their backs

And laugh at me

Well you just tell them

That our love could never be

And so you gotta now

Put yourself in my place



{interlude}



So you gotta now

Put yourself in my place

Don't want to lose face



Why don't we both take a chance

I'm sure that if we tried we could save our romance

I'll never understand what you did to me

Why don't you realize that I'll never be free

And so you gotta

Put yourself in my place

Don't want to lose face





No no no no no no (lose face)

Listen to me baby (lose face)

Come on Come on

You gotta try

Lose face
