Looking back over my life

I can see where I caused you strife

But I know, oh, yes, I know

I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking back, looking back over my deeds

I can see signs a wise man heeds

And if I just had the chance

You know, I'd never, never make that same mistake again

Once my cup, my cup was overflowing, overflowing

And I gave nothing in return

Now I can't begin to tell you

What a lesson, what a lesson I have learned

Looking back over the slate

I can see love turned to hate

But I know, oh, yes, I know

That I would never, I'd never make that same mistake again

But I know, oh, yes, I know

That I would never, you know I'd never make that same mistake again

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
