If your life
was on videotape
Wouldn't everything be alright?
When your head hurts
the morning after
And you could roll it back to late last night
You could replay all the good parts
and cut out what you don't like.
Oh, wouldn't you be in good shape if your life
was on videotape?
If everybody had
ESP, wouldn't everything be okay?
Well, we could see trouble coming,
and we could step out of the way.
When the
Grim
Reaper comes to call,
we could arrange to be out of town.
It would be the great escape
And you could put it on videotape
I don't have a video recorder
And I don't have a crystal ball
And when I'm not with my baby
Oh, I don't have very much at all
I can't predict the future
An d I can't change the past
But I know it will all make sense
If you love me in the present tense
If your life was on videotape,
wouldn't everything be alright?
When your head hurts the morning after,
then you could roll it back to late last night.
You could replay all the good parts
and cut out what you don't like.
Oh, wouldn't you be in good shape
If your life was on videotape?
