G               G7               C
Little girl you stand out in the crowd
       D7                            G
You're laughing and talking much too loud
                   G7           C
But I see a little tear peaking through

It takes one to know one and I know you

It takes one to know one and I know you
           D7                             G
The little tear through your smiles I see through
                          G7                   C
You've been hurt and your frightened you're so blue

It takes one to know one and I know you

Little girl please take hold of my hand

Just go right on and cry I'll understand
               G7             C
Pay no mind if I start crying too

It takes one to know one and I know you

The little tear through your smiles I see through
                          G7                   C
You've been hurt and your frightened you're so blue

It takes one to know one and I know you
