If only you'd of happened to me a long time ago
There might have been a way we'd've found to make love grow
We just might've found a little bitty happiness I don't know
If only you'd of happened to me a long time ago
Now it's kinda late for me to think of what might have been
That old summer's gone and it ain't never comin' back again
I've grown to be a negative think of for I never could win
If only you'd of happened to me baby way back when
[ guitar ]
I guess I better go before I get to where I want to stay
And before I start to sayin' all the things that I'd like to say
And I could get to thinkin' that we might have a chance someway
Oh if only you'd of happened to me baby yesterday
If only you'd of happened to me...
Oh if only you'd of happened to me a long time ago
