Let me introduce you to my time machine See my suped up bird spread her golden wings Going back in black through my neighbourhood My main street middle class Hollywood Jenny's all jet-set Purple Rain cassette Looking like she was the queen of the 80's And if I knew back then what I know right now Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes Just an average Joe making minimum wage Burger flipping on the beach Instead of hitting the wave When the girls walk by with their copper tone tan Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man Well there aint no cure for the summertime blues Oh Candy, oh would you save me? And if I knew back then what I know right now Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes I walked up to the dance in the High school gym This girl with drop-dead legs, I'm moving in You know must have been the DJ spinning Billy Jean I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told dance with me It's like that scene from Grease The way we bumped to the beat I had the girl give me the slip She got away from me Coz if I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd have the pick of the ladies If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
