If I Could I Would

IF I COULD I WOULD WRITTEN BY RAT DEARTH 08-13-08

I KNOW I’VE BEEN A FOOL ANY ONE CAN PLAINLY SEE
I TOOK ALL YOUR LOVE FORGRANTED SO UNCARINGLY
IT TAKES A MAN TO ADMITT HE’S WRONG AND MAN TO MAKE IT RIGHT
HONEY LET BE THAT MAN INSTEAD OF HIM TONIGHT

SO TAKE ME BACK TO THE TIME WHEN I WAS IN MY YOUTH
TAKE ME BACK BEFORE THE TIME THAT I MET YOU
I COULD TRY TO CHANGE A FEW LITTLE THINGS
SO YOU WOULDN’T SHED A TEAR
HONEY IF I COULD I WOULD AND ALL THE WRONG SHOULD DISAPPEAR

SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY IS A GIRL WITH A BORKEN HEART
IF I HADN’T DONE HER WRONG I’D STILL BE IN HER ARMS
TEMPTATION, LUST, AND ALCOHOL BECAME MY DEMISE
NOW I’M LEARNING OH SO PAINFULLY HOW MUCH I MISS THOSE EYES

IF I COULD BUILD A TIME MACHINE I KNOW JUST WHAT I’D DO
I’D GO BACK TO WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO LEARN HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH
