| Well I’ve done some things I ain’t proud to embrace |
| And there’s some awful truths I know I’ve gotta face |
| Well there’s some feelings I’m not quite sure how to say |
| So I’ll just spell it out for you, if that’s okay |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, for what I D-O-N-E |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, is killin' me |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, it will be the death of me |
| That in knowin' it’s way too L-A-T-E |
| Well I spend my time in the taverns of the county |
| Can I confide in you, is that allowed? |
| Well there’s been some times they played a little loud |
| So I’ll just spell it out for you, I ain’t too proud |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, for what I D-O-N-E |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, is killin' me |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, for what I D-O-N-E |
| That in knowin' it’s way too L-A-T-E |
| Well I look around for someone else to blame |
| Somewhere to place the anger, and shame |
| Well my friends all say it’s time I douse the flame |
| But I’ll spell it out for you, just the same |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, for what I D-O-N-E |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, is killin' me |
| R-E-G-R-E-T, it will be the death of me |
| That in knowin' it’s way too L-A-T-E |
| That in knowin' it’s way too L-A-T-E |
| Too L-A-T-E |
