I’d Rather Be Sorry Lyrics by Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge

Breakaway

0

[Verse 1: Kris Kristofferson]
If you hurt me, you won't be the first or the last
In a lifetime of many mistakes
But I won't spend tomorrow regretting the past
For the chances that I didn't take
[Chorus: Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge]
'Cause I'll never know 'til it's over
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
Than for something that I didn't do
[Verse 2: Rita Coolidge]
When you touch me, it's easy to make me believe
Tomorrow won't take you away
But I'd gamble whatever tomorrow might bring
For the love that I'm living today
[Chorus: Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge]
And I'll never know 'til it's over
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
Than for something that I didn't do
[Outro: Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge]
Yes, I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
Than for something that I didn't do
