My Only Regret

My only one regret
Is I didn't know you when we were kids
Sit behind the bleachers and kiss your lips
And pretend after we stopped that we'd never met
My only one regret
Is I didn't ask you to be my homecoming date
Buy you a corsage, fumble putting it on
Shake your dad's hand and stutter talking to your mom

But if I could turn back time now
And find out where you live, where you live
And go knock on your door
'Cause if I knew then what I know now
There's no doubt
I'd have made you my girl long before we met
That's my only regret
That's my only regret, oh, yeah

My only one regret
Is I didn't know you over a summer
No school, just one party after another
Knowing only three months is all we get to get to know each other
My only one regret
Is I overestimated my ability to win
I was a jerk, selfish and conceited
It's taken years to figure out what I needed

But if I could turn back time now
And find out where you live, where you live
And go knock on your door
'Cause if I knew then what I know now
There's no doubt
I'd have made you my girl long before we met
That's my only regret, oh

My only one regret
Is that pictures of you and me don't exist
From when we were little kids
But that was then and this is this
And the future for us is where it is

But if I could turn back time now
And find out where you live, where you live
And go knock on your door (Knock on your door)
'Cause if I knew then what I know now
There's no doubt
I'd have made you my girl long before we met
If I could turn back time now
And find out where you live, where you live
And go knock on your door (Knock, knock on your door)
'Cause if I knew then what I know now
There's no doubt
I'd have made you my girl long before we met
That's my only regret
That's my only regret, oh
