Irma Thomas Looking Back Lyrics

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...
