If I Could Turn Back Time Lyrics

If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside Words are like weapons they wound sometimes I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry But baby If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay If I could reach the stars I'd give them all to you Then you'd love me Love me like you used to do (If I could turn back time) My world was shattered I was torn apart Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart You walked out that door I swore that I didn't care But I lost everything darling then and there Too strong to tell you I was sorry Too proud to tell you I was wrong I know that I was blind and ooh If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay If I could reach the stars I'd give them all to you Then you'd love me Love me... like you used to do... oh If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time) If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time) If I could turn back time... ooh... baby I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't want to see you go I know I made you cry Ooohh If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you If I could reach the stars I'd give them all to you Then you'd love me, love me Like you used to do If I could turn back time (turn back time) If I could find a way (find a way) [to fade] Then baby, maybe, maybe You'd stay (Reach the stars) If I could reach the stars (All to you) I'd give them all to you
