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
