If I Knew Then What I Know Now - Duet with Gladys Knight

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 held you tight)

I'd have treated you right (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 (so easy) just to push you away (push me away)

Guess I never knew how I feel today, oh-oh

If we knew then what we know now

We'd have found the way

To make things work out somehow (ooh-ooh)

I'd have held you tighter (I'd have held you tighter)

I'd have treated you right (I'd have treated you right)

If I knew then (ooh, if I knew then) what I know now

You know I do things differently, oh-yeah

If you ever come back to me

If we could just go back in time

There's no broken heart, you'll understand this time (this time, oh-yeah)

If we knew then (if we knew then) what we know now (what we know now)

I'd have found the way

To make things work out somehow (ooh-ooh)

I'd have held you tighter (I'd have held you tighter)

I'd have treated you right (ooh, I'd have treated you right)

If we knew then (oh, if we knew then) what we know now

If I knew then (if I knew then) what I know now

We should try it once again
