If I Could Turn Back Time Lyrics

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

CHORUS
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 them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back

My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody 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 darling 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 darling

CHORUS

I'm sure everyone has a moment where they said something they wish they hadn't

a sad song about saying something that turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back. we've all done these things...made someone leave us because we were dim enough to say something or do obnoxious and insulting.

My Interpretation

i think you are all missing the true nature of the singers regret,he did'nt leave her over 1 fight,he left her as she was constantly acting a bitch to him and sher drove him away over time and it's only now that she realises it but it's all too late and she's lost everything.She wants to go back and rectify her mistakes but she can't-lifes a bitch,you gotta live with the consequences.It's a song with a strong moral.

I'm quite sure he earned her disgust. As for morals, he doesn't have any

But now they realised theyve been an idiot and wnat the person back by tryint to turn the time back and not saying those things they said and wanting everything back to normal!

I always thought it was about someone on death row who stabbed her lover to death and now regrets it.

i wish i could turn back time so i could shoot cher before she created this peice of shit song and decided to wrap herself in ducktape and sit on a cannon

Actually, I think in that part of the clip she's wearing jeans.

I always thought this song was dedicated to Chasity. The video does not support this! But if you listen to the words it could be a mother telling her daughter that she is sorry for not understanding. But in the end Cher accepts and loves her new son Chad.
