[Verse 1]
First time that I saw you,
Looking like you did
We were young, we were restless,
Just two clueless kids
But if I knew then, what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Verse 2]
You're on a bus in Chicago,
Three rows to the left
You know my heart was racing for you
Though we'd never even met
If I knew then, what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Chorus]
'Cause love only comes once in a while
Knocks on your door and throws you a smile
And takes every breathe and leaves every scar
Speaks to your soul and sings to your heart
And if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Verse 3]
On a Summer night in August,
Back seat of my car
Said "I'm trying to get to know you"
I took it way too far
But if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause love only comes once in a while
Knocks on your door and throws you a smile
And takes every breathe and leaves every scar
Speaks to your soul and sings to your heart
And if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
[Bridge]
Oh, I've used up a lot of chances
I can't get them back
But if again, it comes calling
I'm gonna make it last
[Chorus]
'Cause love only comes once in a while
It knocks on your door and throws you a smile
And takes every breathe and leaves every scar
Speaks to your soul and sings to your heart
And if I knew then what I know now
Woah, if I knew then what I know now
I'd fall in love
