Looking back over my life I can see where I caused you strife   And I know, oh yes, I know I'd never make that same mistake again   Looking back over my deeds I can see signs wise man heeds   And if I just have a chance I'd never make that same mistake again      Once my cup was overflowing but I gave nothing in return   Now, I can begin to tell you what a lesson I have learned   Well, looking back over the slate I can see love turn into hate   And 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 begin to tell you what a lesson I have learned   Well, looking back over the slate I can see love turn into hate   And I know, oh yes, I know I'd never make that same mistake again
