If your life was on video tape
 
 Wouldn't everything be all right
 
 When your head hurts the morning after
 
 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 video tape
 
  
  If everybody had esp
 
 Everything would be ok
 
 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 video tape
  
 
 I don't have a video recorder
 
 I don't have a crystal ball
 
 And when i'm not with my baby
 
 Then i don't have very much at all
 
 I can't predict the future
 
 And i sure 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 video tape
 
 Wouldn't everything be all right
 
 When your head hurts the morning after
 
 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 video tape
