| 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 over my deeds |
| I can see signs a wise man heeds |
| And if I just had the chance |
| I’d never make that same 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 the slate |
| I can see love turned to hate |
| But I know, oh yes, I know |
| I’d never make that same mistake again |
| Once my cup was overflowing |
| But I gave nothing in return |
| Now I can’t begin to tell you |
| Oh, 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 |
| I’d never make that same mistake again |
