I'm Sorry for You - Joe South

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
