| 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) |
