Kylie Minogue – Put Yourself in My Place Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

Put Yourself in My Place Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't take this situation
It's making me feel so blue
One moment you walk into my life
And now you're saying that we're through

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear that you're in love now
Babe I don't know what to say
I can't believe that I still feel this way
I hear that you're in love now
Babe I don't know what to say
But before you decide you won't be mine
Put yourself in my place

[Chorus]
You know the circle will come around
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place
When your lovers bring you down
And there's no one else around
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place

[Verse 2]
There's no rhyme or reason (Rhyme or reason)
That keeps me playing along (That keeps me playing along)
I guess that I just keep on believing
Inside you, love will know right from wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear that you're in love now
Babe I don't know what to say
I can't believe that I still feel this way
I hear that you're in love now
Babe I don't know what to say
But before you decide you won't be mine
Put yourself in my place

[Chorus]
You know the circle will come around
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place
When your lovers bring you down
And there's no one else around
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place

[Instrumental breakdown]

[Chorus]
Circle will come around
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place
When your lovers bring you down
And there's no one else around
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place
You know the circle will come around
(It's gonna come around)
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place
When your lovers bring you down
And there's no one else around (no one around)
You're gonna put yourself (Put yourself)
In my place
In my place (Put yourself)
In my place (Put yourself)

Genius Answer

On a list of 30 of Kylie Minogue’s best singles, published on September 25, 2020, The Guardian ranked it as Kylie Minogue 29th best single, saying:

Her eponymous 1994 album was supposed to unveil a new, more grownup, hipper Kylie Minogue, free from the influence of Stock Aitken and Waterman: it was not the triumph some expected, but it did contain that rarest of things, a great Kylie ballad in the shape of the trip-hoppy Put Yourself in My Place.
