"If I Knew Then (What I Know Now)" lyrics

Skating on a river
Sleeping on a bus
I really thought
I could forget about us
Oh, no
Oh, no
Every smile is crying
Every lie is true
Everyday I run into something
That reminds me of you
Hey, you

If I knew then
What I know now
It would've been a different situation
I should've known somehow
That love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing

When you're around
I had much to drink
And got a tattoo
Desperately and neat
Of something that I wanted to do
For you

If I knew then
What I know now
I could've understood the complication
I should've known somehow
That love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing
When you're around

And I wonder
Who will be laying in my bed
Who will be picking the roses
Who'll share the pillow I dream on
When rains fall all over my blue legs
Ooh
Over my lost brakes
Ooh
Over my mistakes
Oooh

If I knew then
What I know now
We could've made a wonderful creation
I should've learned somehow
That love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing
When you're around

If I knew then
What I know now
It would've been a different situation
I should've known somehow
That love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing
When you're around
When you're around

Love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing...
