Paragraph Lyric
(Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Belford Hendricks)

Looking back, over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking back, over my deeds
I can see signs of wise man heeds
And if I just have a chance
I'd never make that same mistake again.

Once my cup was overflowing
I gave nothing in return
Now, I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned.

Looking bac,k over the slate
I can see love turn to hate
But I know, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again.

--- Instrumental ---

But I know, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again...
