It's My Mistake to Make

Spoken with a drawl (male voice):  Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time…..

 

Last night, I went out with my friends �"

It was a party to behold

I drank too much, stayed out too late

Came home and past out cold

I overslept, and was late for work

I’m paying for it now,

Oh lordy, oh my head does ache

But it was my mistake to make

 

Chorus:

You tell me what I’d tell myself,

but that’s advice that I won’t take

‘cause I don’t take my own advice anyway

Because it’s my mistake to make

 

I thought I found my Mr. Right

Handsome, funny and sweet

He bought me flowers and took me out

And swept me off my feet

You said that he’s no good for me

He’ll break my heart and make me cry

Couldn’t see it till he cheated, and now my heart aches

But it was my mistake to make

 

Chorus:

You tell me what I’d tell myself,

but that’s advice that I won’t take

‘cause I don’t take my own advice anyway

Because it’s my mistake to make

 

Bridge:

I know you love me, I know you care

I know you want what you believe is best for me

But it’s my life, it’s my choice

I need to find out for myself what’s right for me

If I don’t try it, how will I know?

If I don’t make my own mistakes, how will I grow?

 

I took a job I knew I’d hate

Because the pay was great

The hours were long and the work was dull

But it was my mistake to make

 

I failed a class ‘cause my paper was late

But it was my mistake to make.

 

I bought cheap shoes and now my feet ache

But it was my mistake to make.

 

The tube on the grass was really a snake

But it was my mistake to make

 

I might make that mistake again,

But it was my mistake to make.

 

You can say I told you so

But it was my mistake to make

 

 

Spoken (male voice):  Good judgment? That comes from experience.  And experience �" well mostly that comes from bad judgment.
