If I could turn back time 00:09
If I could find a way 00:13
I'd take back those words that have hurt you 00:17
And you'd stay 00:22
I don't know why I did the things I did 00:26
I don't know why I said the things I said 00:30
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside 00:35
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes 00:39
I didn't really mean to hurt you 00:46
I didn't wanna see you go 00:51
I know I made you cry, but baby 00:53
If I could turn back time 00:56
If I could find a way 01:00
I'd take back those words that have hurt you 01:05
And you'd stay 01:09
If I could reach the stars 01:11
I'd give 'em all to you 01:16
Then you'd love me, love me 01:20
Like you used to do 01:23
(If I could turn back time) 01:28
My world was shattered, I was torn apart 01:31
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart 01:35
When you walked out that door 01:39
I swore that I didn't care 01:41
But I lost every thing, darlin', then and there 01:43
Too strong to tell you I was sorry 01:50
Too proud to tell you I was wrong 01:55
I know that I was blind, and darlin' 01:58
If I could turn back time 02:01
If I could find a way 02:05
I'd take back those words that have hurt you 02:09
And you'd stay 02:14
If I could reach the stars 02:16
I'd give 'em all to you 02:20
Then you'd love me, love me 02:25
Like you used to do, ohh 02:28
If I could turn back time 02:35
(If I could turn back time) 02:39
If I could turn back time 02:40
(If I could turn back time) 02:42
If I could turn back time, ohh baby 02:44
02:52
I didnt really mean to hurt you 02:57
I didn't wanna see you go 03:01

If I could turn back time 03:36
(Turn back time) 03:39
If I could find a way (Find a way) 03:42
Then maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay 03:47

[English]

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry, but baby
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
(If I could turn back time)
My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I swore that I didn't care
But I lost every thing, darlin', then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darlin'
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do, ohh
If I could turn back time
(If I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time
(If I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time, ohh baby

I didnt really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But ohh
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
(Turn back time)
If I could find a way (Find a way)
Then maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay
(Reach the stars)
