lyrics

You're telling me you've got troubles,
Well I've got troubles of my own.
You're telling me about this girl and how she left you all alone.
She won't return your affections,
And now you're facing rejection.
Well, there's something you ought to know:

I've been there, done that,
I got the T-shirt and I got the hat,
I bought a monogrammed bathrobe,
I got a souvenir snow globe.
Oh, I'm telling you Mac,
I've been there, done that.

You're telling me you've got problems,
And they're even worse than mine.
You're telling me about some girl and how she laid it on the line.
You're left with nothing but questions.
Worst of all, she's even stopped texting you!
Well, I think that you might find:

I've done that, been there,
I got the humorous underwear,
I got the ball for my antennae,
I even got the squished penny.
Oh, you better beware,
I've done that, been there.

I've got the bumper sticker and the license plate holder on my car.
I prob'ly won't get too far 'til I'm back again.
My bobble-head shakes his head at me on my dash.
I don't think I have enough cash to go back again.

So don't you tell me 'bout your women,
'Cause I've heard it all before.
Said most of it myself as they were walking out the door.
So keep your problems and keep your troubles,
'Cause I've seen it all and double,
And I know what you're gonna say:

Done what, been where?
Don't need directions, I can take you there.
Got a commem'rative shot glass,
Heck, they gave me a season pass!
I've been there, done that,
I got the T-shirt and I got the hat,
I bought a monogrammed bathrobe,
I got the whole dang wardrobe!
Oh, there's no turning back,
I've been there, done that.
