Looking Back - Irma Thomas

Looking back over my life

I see where I’ve 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 wise men heed

And if I just had a chance

I’d never make that 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 mistakes

I can see love turn to hate, and if

I just had a chance, I’d never make that same mistake again.

Now, I know, yes I know

I’d never make that same mistake again.

Oooh, ooh…
