Looking Back
Reflecting on Life's Lessons: Nancy Wilson's 'Looking Back'
Lyrics
Looking back over my life
Reflecting on my past experiences
I can see where I caused you strife
Recognizing instances where I caused you pain or trouble
But I know, oh, yes, I know
Confidently acknowledging
I'd never make that same mistake again
Assuring I wouldn't repeat the same error
Looking back, looking back over my deeds
Reviewing my actions
I can see signs a wise man heeds
Noticing indications that a wise person pays attention to
And if I just had the chance
Expressing a desire for another opportunity
You know, I'd never
Emphasizing the determination to avoid repeating the mistake
Never make that same mistake again
Reiterating the commitment not to make the same mistake
Once my cup, my cup was overflowing
Previously, I had much to offer
Overflowing and I gave nothing in return
Despite having abundance, I failed to reciprocate
Now I can't begin to tell you
Struggling to articulate the depth of my realization
What a lesson, what a lesson I have learned
Highlighting the profound lesson learned
Looking back over the slate
Reflecting on past relationships
I can see love turned to hate
Observing the transformation of love into animosity
But I know, oh, yes, I know
Acknowledging the change with certainty
That I would nеver
Reaffirming the commitment to avoid repeating the mistake
I'd never makе that same mistake again
Stressing the determination not to repeat the error
But I know, oh, yes, I know
Confidently reiterating understanding
That I would never, you know I'd never make
Asserting the strong determination not to make the mistake again
That same mistake again
Repeating the firm resolution to avoid the same error
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Emphatically rejecting the idea of making the same mistake again
