Ryuichi Sakamoto Regret Lyrics

[Intro]
Hope
Happiness
Love
Bliss
Anger
Pain
Sorrow
Regret

[Chorus]
If I had it all to do again
Maybe I would do it just a little bit different my friend
Little less for the body, more for the mind
Ignorance and all the hatred I leave it behind
[Verse 1]
All I need is sometime, all I need is sometime
If I had it my way, you know that I don't
If only you would listen, I'm sure that you won't
Understand you're a man and I thought you were strong
Where I am is where I stand, I guess I was wrong
In the end it was pretend but it won't be too long
Before I try again because I, I gotta more on
No time for regret, it's not over yet
This ain't as good as it gets, so place your bets

Now its your life, roll the dice
With any luck you'll hit a seven
Masses know they livin' foul
But swear to god they'll go to heaven
Control of your soul, responsibility
You're spirit's worth your weight in gold
Keep it under lock and key
Or you'll be singing with me

[Chorus]
If I had it all to do again
Maybe I would do it just a little bit different my friend
Little less for the body, more for the mind
Ignorance and all the hatred I leave it behind
[Verse 2]
Just give me sometime, just give me sometime
Baby, time is all you got, so ready or not
Make your peace, get a new lease on life, pay the price
Nothing is free, no money-back guarantee
The only constant is change, there's no rules in this game Just try to maintain self respect, dignity
And if you're swimming in a sea that's polluted
Best be suited with protection from infectious
Creatures of dread that infiltrate your body
Then proceed to fill your head
With self serving notions of status and wealth
Don't ever swim in this ocean without knowledge of self
Devils only have the power to do what you let
Sell your soul and the price that you'll pay
Is eternal regret
And that you can get

I think it's bout time, I think it's bout time
We all want something constant and true
Love that never dies, beauty that never fades
And a bottomless pit of satisfaction
It's not much that I'm asking
Little love, little time
The simple things are so hard to find
But maybe if we look
Get ready, get set
Go for what you know baby
Never have regret
[Chorus]
If I had it all to do again
Maybe I would do it just a little bit different my friend
Little less for the body, more for the mind
Ignorance and all the hatred I leave it behind

I ain't got the time,I ain't got the time
Life is too short
No regret, no sorrow
Learn from yesterday, but live for tomorrow

[Chorus]
If I had it all to do again
Maybe I would do it just a little bit different my friend
Little less for the body, more for the mind
Ignorance and all the hatred I leave it behind
