(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson) 
You won't see me cryin' anymore 
And don't think because 
I mention your name 
I still love you 
But it could have been so so much better 
How could we know at the time 
That is could have been so so much better 
It's so easy to look back and say 
That things could be so much better 
If I had you today 
Now what if we'd believed each other's lies 
And just suppose you'd tried holding me closer 
Once or twice 
Then it could have been so so much better 
How could we know at the time 
That is could have been so so much better 
It's so easy to look back and say 
That things could be so much better 
If I had you today 
The all night movies are my only company 
And love's so clear in black and white 
Somebody's wrong and somebody's always right 
Another happy ending and 
I'm still all alone 
And I wonder if it could have been so much better
