I've Been There Before

Did you ever have to sit there

And watch them holdin' hands?

Everybody around you know

He's supposed to be your man

He tried to explain last night

That she was still his wife

And all day long

You tried your best to understand

Don't it make you wanna

(get up)

Get up and walk away?

Don't it make you wanna

Say things you never would say?

You ask me how do I know

(how do I know)

I've been there before

(I've been there before)

Did you ever have to stand there

On the outside lookin' in?

You know the man you love

Belongs to your best friend

You try to blow it out-a your mind

But you know you're just wastin' your time

You know that somebody's got to lose

Will you be the one to win?

Don't it make you wanna

(get up)

Get up and walk away?

Don't it make you wanna

Say things you never would say?

You ask me how do I know

(how do I know)

I've been there before

(I've been there before)

Smack dab n the middle

Of a three way llove affair

I tell you I've been there before
