Ruth Brown — Looking Back

Looking back over my life I can see where I caused you strife And I know, yes I know I'd never make that same mistake again Looking back over my deeds I can see signs a wise man heeds And if I just had a chance I know I'd never make that same mistake again Once my cup was overflowing But I gave nothing in return Now I can't begin to tell you What a lesson I have learned Looking back over the slate I can see love turned to hate And I know, yes I know That I'd never make that same mistake again Looking back over the slate I can see love turned to hate And if I just had a chance I know I'd never make that same mistake again I'd never make that same mistake again I'd never make that same mistake again Oh I'd never make that same mistake again…
