Looking Back

(Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Belford Hendricks)



Looking back over my life

I can see where I caused you strife

But I know, oh yes, I know

I'd never make that same mistake again.



Looking back over my deeds

I can see signs of wise girl heeds

But if I just have a chance

I'd never make that same mistake again.



Once my cup was overflowing

But I gave nothing in return

Now I can begin to tell you

What a lesson I have learned.



Looking back over the slate

I can see love turn to hate

But I know, oh yes, I know

I'll never make that same mistake again.



Once my cup was overflowing

But I gave nothing in return

Now I can begin to tell you

What a lesson I have learned...
