In retrospect, he didn't mean that much to you And now you're through In retrospect, you both said things you wouldn't do Not only you In retrospect, you could have said what bothered you But it's too late In retrospect, there wasn't really much to say You didn't like him anyway But now you feel so blue When all your friends keep asking you You watch as they leave in pairs You ask your cup, why should we care Out in the clear night sky, a cigarette a heavy sigh Smoke says I wonder why? In retrospect, I don't feel right In retrospect, he would have wanted you the best Despite it didn't last In retrospect, a stray cat always wants a bed Why should you care?
