Looking back over my life

I can see where I've caused you strife

But I know, oh, yes, I know

I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking back over my deeds

I can see signs wise men heed

And if I just had a chance

I'd never make that mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing

But I gave nothing in return

Now I can't begin to tell you

What a lesson I have learned

Looking back over mistakes

I can see love turn to hate, and if

I just had a chance

I'd never make that same mistake again

Now, I know, yes I know

I'd never make that same mistake again

Oooh, oooh
