If I had my chance I'd do it all over again If I had my chance I'd do it all over again Been treated badly, been abused Been suicidal and confused But if I had my chance I'd do it all over again I was seventeen when I made my way to the smoke I was seventeen, I was homeless, hungry and broke I hustled subways for a bite And crashed in the cardboard city at night But if I had my chance I'd do it all over again I asked for change and you smiled, the day that we met I asked for change, you offered me food and a bed You gave me back my selfrespect Yeah, loving you's one thing I'll never regret And if I had my chance I'd do it all over again You weren't cute but you knew what I wanted to do You weren't cute but you knew what I wanted from you Where you took me I'd never been Or dreamed of in my wildest dreams And if I had my chance I'd do it all over again Since you've been gone I can't sleep easy at night I've got this cough and I can't sleep easy at night The friends we had are gone and dead But you're one friend I can never forget And if I had my chance I'd do it all over again
