Lyrics

REGRET

By: Jim L'Esperance

It’s pretty in the back yard
Fifty cars out on the street
My sister’s getting married
All her friends will be here
Some of them know what went down
Between you and me
And I’m bettin' I’m the last guy on the face of the earth
That you wanna see

I grew up a tough guy
My little corner of the world
Tryin' ta' pretend that I didn’t care
Gettin all the girls
It was a trick that my father taught me
Seemed to work out for him
Until my mother told him
To never look her way again

And then I see you through an open window
White dress with a hint of blue
And at the time I was talkin' with somebody else
I just can’t remember who
And my heart kept screaming out just to tell me
Something that I already knew
A hundred million girls in this country
But only one of them are you
Hundred million girls in this country
There’s only one you

A young man leaves his chances behind
Cuz he knows there’ll be more
Can’t help but wonder what awaits him
Behind another door
Thinkin' that one in a million girl will be waitin'
When he turns himself around
All sounds pretty easy
Sometimes you can’t come back around

And then I see you through an open window
White dress with a hint of blue
And at the time I was talkin' with somebody else
I just can’t remember who
And my heart kept screaming out just to tell me
To get out there and let her back in
But I know you won’t be stupid enough
To ever look my way again
Yeah I know you’ll not be stupid enough
To ever look my way again

It’s pretty in the back yard
Fifty cars out on the street
My sister’s getting married
All her friends are gonna be here
Some of them know what went down
Between you and me
And I’m bettin' I’m the last guy on the face of the earth
That you want to see
I’m bettin' I’m the last guy
On the face of the earth
That you wanna see
