If I knew then what I know now
I could have made it work somehow
But looking back don’t do no good
And crying over things I should have done
Is just wasted tears

So I go out and paint the town
You won’t catch me sittin’ round
My eyes are open to opportunities
And I’ve got some good fellas down on their knees
Who try and dry my tears

CHORUS
So I can always find somebody new
Someone I can love as true
Someone who’ll make me forget about you
Once in a blue moon
Once in a blue moon

I pick myself up and dry my eyes
Put on my “doing fine” disguise
I’m ready for action, some kind of fun
Before my melancholy side’s begun
To prompt my lonely tears

CHORUS
