If I Met Myself Again

If I met myself back then I wonder what I'd say Would I tell that simple wise eyed girl the truth? If I met myself again, a child who'd lost her way Who was just about to pay the price of youth I'd tell her, "Only fools rush in and think the heart can lead" I'd tell her, "Grow a thicker skin 'cause girl you're gonna bleed" I'd tell her, "Blue skies turn to grey, the only questions when" I'd make her see, her future's me If I met myself again If I met myself again I wonder what she'd say That love struck girl who thought she was so smart If I wonder of the men, the ones that got away And worse the ones that stay and break your heart I'd tell her, "Love's a losing game that's better left unplayed" I'd tell her, "You've yourself to blame for every choice you've made" And I'd tell her, and I'd tell her 'til my voice gave out And then, she would smile, wait a while And go and do it all again If I met myself again If I met that girl again I'd tell her, "Sink or swim" I'd wake her up and god I'd make her run I'd turn back time and say, "Girl stay away from him" But if I did, if I dared There's a price I would pay And I'd lose 'cause I won't have my son If I met myself again If I met myself again If I met myself again
