Subject: Until It Happens To You by Alabama

UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO YOU
(Jeff Cook/Teddy Gentry/Ronnie Rogers/Greg Fowler)
Album: "Pass It On Down", 1990

I worry all day and I can't go to sleep at night
Thinking 'bout baby and wondering who's holding her tight, tonight
People say I've been a fool too long, too long
All my friends still ask me why I keep hanging on and on
And I say...

(CHORUS)
You'll never know until it happens to you
You'll never know all that I'm going through
Love ain't something that flies away
Somebody goes but the feeling stays
And you'll never know until it happens to you

Saturday's rolling, and everybody's rocking but me
I should go to town, but I don't want no company, no, no, no
Friends say I should be out having fun with someone
I know it's true, but if they only knew it's easier said than done, oh yeah
And I say...

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(saxophone solo)

Friends say I've been a fool too long, much too long
They just don't understand why I sit at home all alone, by the phone
And I say
You'll never know until it happens to you
You'll never know all that I'm going through
You'll never know, oh no
You'll never know, whoa-oh
You'll never know until it happens to you
