Lyrics

If I knew then what I know now
I would have fixed all the wrong somehow
What I'd give to do it over again
Youth is wasted on the young

I remember back in school
I thought that I was cool
Didn't care for no one but myself
I never realized
How good you were back then
Wish I were a kinder gentleman

Get the tape to rewind
Let me do it one more time

I must apologize
I know I made you cry
But I was happy living in my own world
I should have understood
I could have done more good
Wish I never hurt you like I did

Get the tape to rewind
Let me do it one more time

If I knew then what I know now
I would have fixed all the wrong somehow
What I'd give to do it over again
Youth is wasted on the young
Youth is wasted on the young
Youth is wasted on the, it's so wasted on the
Youth is wasted on the young

Now I know what I did wrong
Was blind for way too long
I know I should have listened to my old man
Please, just give me one more chance
Take a trip in time
Go back and make love to you one more time

If I knew then what I know now
I would have fixed all the wrong somehow
What I'd give to do it over again
Youth is wasted on the young
Youth is wasted on the young
Youth is wasted on the, it's so wasted on the
Youth is wasted on the young
