Video Tape

If your life was on video tape

Wouldn't everything be all right?

When your head hurt the morning after

You could roll it back to late last night.

You could replay all of the good parts

And cut out what you don't like

Oh, wouldn't you be in good shape

If your life was on video tape?

If everybody had ESP

Everything would be OK

We could see trouble coming

And we could step out of the way.

When that grim reaper comes to call

We could arrange to be out of town

Oh, that would be the great escape

And you could put it on video tape.

Now I don't have a video recorder

And I don't have a crystal ball

When I'm not with my baby

Lord, I don't have very much at all.

I can't predict the future

Babe, I sure can't change the past

But I know it will all make sense

If you love me in the present tense.

If your life was on video tape

Wouldn't everything be all right?

When your head hurt the morning after

You could roll it back to late last night.

You could replay all of the good parts

And cut out what you don't like

Oh, wouldn't you be in great shape

If your life was on video tape?

If your life was on video tape

Wouldn't everything be all right?

When your head hurt the morning after

You could roll it back to late last night.
