| If I only knew what I know
 | 
| I would not have done what I did
 | 
| You said all along I was wrong
 | 
| But I went and did it anyway. | 
| Yes, I went
 | 
| And did it anyway
 | 
| But if only… (you should listen)
 | 
| But if only… (stop and think)
 | 
| I was in control (so I thought)
 | 
| With a foolproof plan — what a joke!
 | 
| Proving what a fool I can be
 | 
| As it all exploded in my face
 | 
| Whatever made me do it anyway?
 | 
| But if only… (time's a-wasting)
 | 
| But if only… (Just move on)
 | 
| But if only… (No use chasing)
 | 
| But if only… (What is gone)
 | 
| Oh, you sentimental fool
 | 
| You’re finding out life can be cruel
 | 
| You cannot bend the rules
 | 
| Oh, you sentimental fool
 | 
| You find some coal and think that you’ll
 | 
| Create a precious jewel
 | 
| You sentimental fool!
 | 
| But if only… (something ventured)
 | 
| But if only… (nothing gained)
 | 
| But if only… (You were captured)
 | 
| But if only… (By your game)
 | 
| Oh, you temperamental fool
 | 
| You’ve got to keep your engine cool —
 | 
| You’re burning too much fuel
 | 
| Oh, you temperamental fool
 | 
| You think you’ll find somebody who’ll
 | 
| Be warm when you are cool
 | 
| You temperamental fool!
 | 
| Picking myself up off the ground
 | 
| Everybody knows how that feels!
 | 
| To be wrong again, as I know I will
 | 
| It really doesn’t matter anyway
 | 
| But if only… (time's a wasting)
 | 
| But if only… (just move on)
 | 
| But if only… (no use chasing)
 | 
| But if only… (what is gone)
 | 
| But if only… (catching rainbows)
 | 
| (can't be done)
 | 
| But if only… (fleeting haloes)
 | 
| (of the sun) |
