Lyrics The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones

Biggest Mistake

When love comes so late, it'll really hit hard

It slams through the gate, it'll catch you off guard

Everyone said, "What a perfect love match

'Cause she is so smart, she's a hell of a catch"

I was drinking in love, gulping it down

Drifting for months on a billowing cloud

But after awhile I stopped to rebel

I'm back in the past and I'm raising up hell

But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life

And I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life

We'd been living together for over a year

The harmony's perfect, it rang loud and clear

But then very slowly, my nerves start to fray

The little things big, that's what they say

I acted impatient, I acted unkind

I took her for granted, I played with her mind

She didn't deserve it but it was too late

I walked out the door and left her to her fate

But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life

And I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life

(WhoooWhooo Whooo....)

Now I'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone

I ruined the day with some friends on the phone

I never go out, I'm becoming a grouch

I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch

But if love comes again, I'll be really surprised

I'll grab it real fast, keep it right in my sights

'Cause I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life

Well I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
