Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The first time that I saw you, lookin' 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
[Verse 2]
On a bus in Chicago, three rows to the left
You know my heart was racin' for you, but we never even met
If I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Verse 3]
'Cause love only comes once in a while
Knocks on you door and throws you a smile
And takes every breath, leaves every scar
Speaks to your soul and sings to your heart
[Verse 4]
But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Verse 5]
On a summer night in August, backseat of my car
Instead of tryin' 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
[Verse 6]
Whoa, 'cause love only comes once in a while
And knocks on you door and throws you a smile
And takes every breath, leaves every scar
Speaks to your soul and sings to your heart
[Verse 7]
And if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Verse 8]
Whoa, I used up a lot of chances, I can't get them back
But if again it comes crawlin', I'm gonna make it last
[Verse 9]
'Cause love only comes once in a while
And knocks on you door and throws you a smile
And takes every breath, leaves every scar
Speaks to your soul and sings to your heart
[Verse 10]
And if I knew then what I know now
Whoa, if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
