My Big Mistake lyrics
by Cy Coleman
When I was very young
I had a perfect life
My Pa a perfect husband and my Ma a perfect wife
And every day my life went by so perfectly…
I made a perfect plan
I dreamed some perfect dreams
But now I look around, my dreams are splitting at the seams!
I made one big decision and now look at me…
When I do something wrong I do it perfectly…
My big mistake
Roping you in
I got my wish
Now I can’t win
I thought once I caught you you’d quit your roamin’
But I’m the one who’s caught in a world I’m not at home in!
My big mistake
Thinking you’d change
Fancyin’ life
Home on the range
Cause I like days, I’ll carefully reckon
You live life from second to second
Yet just touch me, and there’s no other choice I’d make
I love my big mistake!
I like days, I’ll carefully reckon
You live life from second to second
Yet just touch me, and there’s no other choice I’d make…
I love my big mistake!
