Ruth Brown Looking Back
Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
And 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 man heeds
And if I just have 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 begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turn to hate
And I know oh yes I know
That I'll never make that same mistake again
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turn to hate
And if I just have a chance
I know I'll never make that same mistake again
I'll never make that same mistake again
I'll never make that same mistake again
I'll never make that same mistake again
