My Mistake

(album: All In The Name Of Love - 1987)

Look what I have done
I've caused a lot of pain
But I never really knew
What love could put someone through
I wanted excitement
And she seemed to need for once to live
But now that I've seen the picture
Please pardon me

We all have our wants
And everyone's got their needs
Oh, but somehow what I wanted
Overruled my needs
I was living in a fantasy
All I needed was the seeds
To grow the romance
That I've hungered all my life
But somehow I came to see
How sad life could really be
If you lose your love

I should've realized
That you can't disguise
Love when it's real
I should have known that it was deep
When she looked at me
And said she couldn't love me
I knew that it was my mistake

There's been many times
I thought that I'd found love
But each time it turned out to be
All of the things I'd never dreamed of
But when I met her
I found that she was different
From the rest
I could finally live my adventure
Had she only agreed

Oh, but I should've realized
That you can't disguise
Love when it's real
I should have known that it was deep
When she looked at me
And said she couldn't love me
I knew that it was my mistake

I should've realized
That you can't disguise
Love when it's real
I should have known that it was deep
When she looked at me
And said she couldn't love me
I knew that it was my mistake
