Looking ba-a-ack over my deeds 

I can see signs a wise man heeds 

And if I just ha-ad the chance 

I'd never make that same mistake again 

Once my cup was overflowing 

But I gave nothing in retu-u-urn 

Now I can't begin to te-ell you 

What a lesson I have learned

Looking ba-a-ack 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
