I Regret Everything
© Bill Burnett & Peggy Sarlin

I've lived my own life
win or lose
No one every called the shots for me
I put myself into these shoes
And no one every tied the knots for me
Life's a banquet
So I ate
Piled experience
On my plate
Grabbed life's gleaming golden cup and drank it down
Bottoms up
So proudly no I turn and face the crowd
And sing my feelings very loud
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
Every moment of my life
Every step that I take is another big mistake
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
There is nothing I've done right
Summer Winter Fall or Spring
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
The one good man
That got away
My acting in the high school play
That time at lunch I dropped my tray
My history of tooth decay
The love I gave one reckless night
The pants I bought that were too tight
That time I ran the traffic light
The Chinese food I ate last night
Burp...pardon
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
Every single thing I've done
Every path that I choose
Only leads to more boo boos
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
Look my stocking has a run
And I'm plagued by static cling
And my bathtub has a ring
And my bell has no ding ding
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
Everybody!
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
Every moment of my life
Every path that I take
Is another big mistake
I REGRET EVERYTHING!
Left or right I'm always wrong
I regret to have to sing
I regret having sung this song
Oh now I've depressed you
I shouldn't have come
