Somebody Else Is Taking My Place (Peggy Lee) Lyrics

Somebody else is taking my place
Somebody else now shares your embrace
While I am trying to keep from crying
You go around with a smile on your face

Little you know the price that I have paid
Little you care for vows that you made
My heart is aching, soon will be breaking
For somebody's taking my place

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
