[Verse 1]
       G              G7         C
Little girl you stand out in the crowd
       D            D7               G
You’re laughing and talking much too loud
      G            G7           C
But I see a little tear peeking through
         D           D7             G
It takes one to know one and I know you

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

[Verse 2]
       G                G7         C
Little girl please take hold of my hand
     D               D7             G
Just go right on and cry I’ll under-stand
       G       G7             C
Pay no mind if I start crying too
    D                D7             G
It takes one to know one and I know you

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