"If I Had My Life To Live Over" lyrics - PAUL ANKA

If I had my life to live over
I'd like to trade places with you
I feel like a one-legged dancer
Trying to do the boogaloo
Somebody call up the sheriff
Someone's committing a crime
I'm drowning myself in a sea of tears
I'm going down for the last time

[Chorus:]
If I had my life to live over
I'd come back deaf, dumb, and blind
Never have to see or hear you, no
I'd never have you on my mind
I can't believe how she's hurting me
My whole world's falling apart
I keep on saying tomorrow, "I'll mend my broken heart, yeah"

Oh, I can't get my eyes off the ceiling
I can't get my back out of bed
I can't help the way I've been feeling
I sometimes wish I were dead
And Lord, if You should catch me praying
Would You drop in a good word for me?
I can't believe what she's done to me
Left me with this misery

[Chorus:]
If I had my life to live over
I'd come back deaf, dumb, and blind
Never hear or see you, no, no, no (No, no, no)
I'll never have you on my mind (No, no, no, no, no, no)
I can't believe how you hurt me (Ooh)
My whole world's falling apart (Falling apart)
I keep on saying tomorrow, "I'll mend my broken heart", heart, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

If I had my life to live over (Had my life to live over)
I'd like to trade places with you (Living in over)
I feel like a one-legged dancer (Live over)
Trying to do the boogaloo
Somebody call up the sheriff (Call 'em up, come on, come on)
Someone's committing a crime (Coming through illegit)
I'm drowning myself in a sea of tears (Call 'em up, call 'em up)
I'm going down for the last time

[Chorus:]
If I had my life to live over
I'd come back deaf, dumb, and blind (Deaf, dumb, and blind)
Never hear or see you, no, no, no (No, no, no)
I'll never have you on my mind (No, no, no, no, no, no)
I can't believe how you hurt me (Ooh)
My whole world's falling apart (Falling apart)
I keep on saying tomorrow, "I'll mend my broken heart", yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Outro:]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
