"Looking Back" lyrics

"Looking Back"

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
Ooh, ooh...
