If I Knew Then lyrics - If I Knew Then"

The first time that I saw you, lookin' like you did

We were young, we were restless, just two clueless kids

But if I knew then, what I know now

I'd fall in love

On a bus in Chicago, three rows to the left

You know my heart was racin' for you, but we never even met

If I knew then, what I know now

I'd fall in love

'Cause love only comes, once in a while

And knocks on your door, and throws you a smile

It takes every breath, leaves every scar

Speaks to your soul, and sings to your heart

But if I knew then, what I know now

I'd fall in love

On a summer night in August, back seat of my car

'Stead of tryin' to get to know you, I took it way too far

But if I knew then, what I know now

I'd fall in love

Whoa, 'cause love only comes, once in a while

And knocks on your door, and throws you a smile

It takes every breath, leaves every scar

Speaks to your soul, and sings to your heart

But if I knew then, what I know now

I'd fall in love

Whoa, I used up a lot of chances

I can't get them back

But if again it comes crawlin', I'm gonna make it last

'Cause love only comes, once in a while

And knocks on your door, and throws you a smile

It takes every breath, leaves every scar

Speaks to your soul, and sings to your heart

But if I knew then, what I know now

Whoa, if I knew then, what I know now

I'd fall in... love
