If you've never laid awake at night and prayed to be set free

From the chains that bind a broken heart be glad that you ain't me

If you've never walked the lonely streets in search for company

Someone to tell your troubles to be glad that you ain't me

Be glad your heart has never known the pain that I've been through

The pain of loving someone who never will love you

If the devil never haunts your sleep till you beg to be set free

Just put yourself in my place friend be glad that you ain't me

If you think that you've got troubles and you're wantin' sympathy

Just listen my story friend and be glad that you ain't me

If you've never laid awake at night and prayed to be set free

From the chains that bind a broken heart be glad that you ain't me

If you never saw a love go wrong because of jealousy

Just put yourself in my place friend be glad that you ain't me

Be glad your eyes have never cried until they couldn't see

Be glad that your heart has never wanted a love that couldn't be

If you never saw a love go wrong because of jealousy

Just put yourself in my place friend be glad that you ain't me
