Lyrics

Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused a little strife
But I know (Oh yes I know)
I will never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my slate
I can see where I caused a little hate
But I know (let me tell you I truly know)
I will never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
But now that I'm growing older (let me tell you)
What a lesson I've learned
(From) Looking back over the deeds
I can see signs wise men heed
But I know (I truly know)
I will never make that same mistake again
(Oh yeah) Once my cup was over flowing
(Oh but I) But I gave nothing inreturn
(Oh now) Now that I'm growing older
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) What a lesson I have learned
(Oh) Looking back over my slate
I can see where I caused a little hate
But I know (I truly know)
I will never make that same mistake again
