My Mistake Lyrics by Split Enz

Dizrythmia

1977

[Verse: 1]
I went out to see if I could fall in love again
That was my mistake
That was my mistake
I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again
That was my mistake
That was my mistake

[Chorus:]
When all I needed was a friend
To make me stop and think again
Pull me up and pull me through
Tally ho, your health my dear

[Verse: 2]
I went out to see if I could live for a couple of days
That was my mistake
That was my mistake
One by one I counted all those happiest of days
Yeah, That was my mistake
Why, That was my mistake

[Chorus:]
Whats gone is gone, sweet memories
Dont let them get the best of me
No more lost in history
No more lost for love
When all I needed was a friend
To make me stop and think again
The call to arms is loud and clear
Tally ho, your health my dear

[Verse: 3]
I went out to see if I could fall in love again
That was my mistake
Why, That was my mistake
One by one I counted all those happiest of days
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
That was my mistake, that was my mistake

[Outro:]
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
That was my mistake, that was my mistake
Mistake, mistake
