If I Knew Then

The first time that I saw you

Looking like you did

We were young, we were restless

Just two clueless kids

But if I knew then what I know now

I'd fall in love

You're on a bus in Chicago

Three rows to the left

You know my heart is reaching for you

But we never even met

If I knew then what I know now

I'd fall in love

'Cause love only comes

Once in a while

And knocks on your door

And throws you a smile

And takes every breath

Leaves every scar

Speaks through your soul

And sings to your heart

But if I knew then what I know now

I'd fall in love

On a summer night in august

Backseat of my car

Said I'm trying to get to know you

I took it way too far

But if I knew then what I know now

I'd fall in love

Whoa, 'cause love only comes

Once in a while

And knocks on your door

And throws you a smile

And takes every breath

Leaves every scar

Speaks through your soul

And sings to your heart

But if I knew then what I know now

I'd fall in love

Whoa, I used up a lot of chances

But you give them back

But if again it comes crawling

I'm gonna make it last

'Cause love only comes

Once in a while

And knocks on your door

And throws you a smile

It takes every breath

Leaves every scar

Speaks through your soul

And sings to your heart

And if I knew then what I know now

Whoa, if I knew then what I know now

I'd fall in love
