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
