I'm Sorry for You
He's got you where he wants you
He's gonna keep you where he's got you
'Cause you think you're too much in love
And he knows it, too
Now, you come to me
You ask for sympathy
All right
I'm sorry for you
I've been down that road you're walking now
I've walked the floor 'til I half-walked off my shoes
And so maybe now you'll see just what I went through for you
You'll know just what it's like to love and lose
He's got you where he wants you
He's gonna keep you where he's got you
'Cause you think you're too much in love
And he knows it, too
Now, you come to me
You ask for sympathy
All right
I'm sorry for you
I hate to be the one to say "I told you so"
Hey, but I knew he could never, ever play it straight
Now, you try to smile, say you've learned a lesson
But it seems your lesson came just a bit too late
Because he's got you where he wants you
And he's gonna keep you where he's got you
I know you think you're too much in love
And ah, he knows it, too
Now, you come to me
You ask for sympathy
Well, all right
I'm sorry for you
I believe, he's got you where he wants you
You know, keep you where he's got you
Come now, you think you're too much in love
And he knows it, too
He's gonna keep you where he's got you
'Cause you think you're too much in love
And he knows it, too
Now, you come to me
You ask for sympathy
All right
I'm sorry for you
I've been down that road you're walking now
I've walked the floor 'til I half-walked off my shoes
And so maybe now you'll see just what I went through for you
You'll know just what it's like to love and lose
He's got you where he wants you
He's gonna keep you where he's got you
'Cause you think you're too much in love
And he knows it, too
Now, you come to me
You ask for sympathy
All right
I'm sorry for you
I hate to be the one to say "I told you so"
Hey, but I knew he could never, ever play it straight
Now, you try to smile, say you've learned a lesson
But it seems your lesson came just a bit too late
Because he's got you where he wants you
And he's gonna keep you where he's got you
I know you think you're too much in love
And ah, he knows it, too
Now, you come to me
You ask for sympathy
Well, all right
I'm sorry for you
I believe, he's got you where he wants you
You know, keep you where he's got you
Come now, you think you're too much in love
And he knows it, too
