Lyrics If I Knew Then What I Know Now - Kenny Rogers, Gladys Knight

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

Well, hello girl, tell me, how have you been?
By the way, I’ll never make the same mistake again
And you know girl, it’s been a long hard time
Nothing like back when you were mine
And if I knew then what I know now
I’d have found the way
To make things work out somehow
I’d have held you tight
I’d have treated you right
If I knew then what I know now
It’s a crazy world for a boy and a girl
Harder than it is for a woman and a man
Oh, it was easy then just to push you away
Guess I never knew how I feel today
If we knew then…
You know I do things differently
If you ever come back to me
If we could just go back in time
There’s no broken heart
Girl, we’re at the start this time
