Ann Peebles I've Been There Before Lyrics

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
