lyrics

IF I’D THOUGHT

If I’d have thought what I’d had said
woulda hurt you so bad
those word’s would never left my head
I told the truth and I got caught.
Where in the world would I be now
if I’d a thought?

You asked me what. & I told you what.
Remember that you asked for it
& then you said I took a cheap shot
You give me grief and I said thanks a lot.
Never woulda turned out this way
if I’da thought

I thought that I could smooth it over with a little eloquence
I don’t think that the worst is over til we’re handed our consequences
Don’t you know they get expensive

More than I bargained for, that’s what I got.
& all the while you’re selling out
I bought and bought and bought and bought
I tried to strike while the iron’s hot.
I wasn’t kicking you while you’re down
if only I’d have thought.

I thought that I could smooth it over with a little eloquence
I don’t’ think that the worst is over til we’re handed our consequences
Don’t you know they get expensive
