(If I Could) Take My Own Advice - Willie P. Bennett
You told me yesterday
that I've been on your mind
You call me on the telephone
to tell me that you're fine
Still you'd like to cheat on me
if you could find the time
It wouldn't be this way
if I could take my own advice
All the people in this town
they stare and laugh at me
They joke about our kind of love
it's anything but free
For who should know this better
than the ones who've paid the price
It wouldn't be this way
if I could take my own advice
I never thought that loving you
would cause me so much pain
But every time I ask myself
I find I love you more again
No one enjoys a broken heart
But you mend it so damn nice
It wouldn't be this way
if I could take my own advice
