Subject: Lyr Add: LOOKING BACK (Nat King Cole)
Good to have you back, lox.
You tough self-centered men out there that have caused a breakup, listen up.
If you dump your girl, you may have a later change in mind. However, that change may come too late. If you are turned down with your apologies to the ex you broke up with, you just might experience the same or worse feelings she suffered. The remorse can be tremendous and almost unbearable.
If you have never experienced the "silent treatment" from a steadfast woman you certainly do not want to. I thought, she could not make it without me and she would get over what I said. 6 months later, well, that has not happened and I doubt I will ever be forgiven. The finality of that is extremely tough to accept.
Thing Called Love by Jimmy Dean
Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down
To his knees by Love
LOOKING BACK by Nat King Cole
Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Unfortunately for me, my ex will never give me the opportunity to "never make that same mistake again". Any love that was there has turned to hate.
I must forever live with my deeds and certainly, I did not "see signs a wise man heeds"
Therefore men, corral your cockiness and think about what you say to your girl before you spout out hurtful words you can never ever take back.
