If I Knew Then What I Know Now

Well, hello girl, tell me, how have you been?

By the way, I'll never make the same mistake again

And you know girl, it's been a long hard time

Nothing like back when you were mine.

And if I knew then what I know now

I'd have found the way

To make things work out somehow

I'd have held you tight

I'd have treated you right

If I knew then what I know now.

It's a crazy world for a boy and a girl

Harder than it is for a woman and a man

Oh, it was easy then just to push you away

Guess I never knew how I feel today.

If we knew then ...

You know I do things differently

If you ever come back to me

If we could just go back in time

There's no broken heart

Girl, we're at the start this time.
