If I Knew Then

(album: The Game's Up - 1980)

Hard winter but there's more yet
You pays your money and you get hit
No more wages they froze too
Sitting here thinking out loud 'bout you
But if I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd run somehow

She took my money and then she blanked my mind
Dedicated men like me are hard to find
But I didn't care about that 'cause I was looking for love
It didn't matter to me cause that was who she was
But if I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd run somehow

One more station one more train
Another hundred miles to go before I see that girl again
Like a fever in me
She's got moves you wouldn't believe and they're tearing up in me
But if I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd stay somehow
