Array ( [sid] => 52225 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I made the mistake of falling in love [time] => 2004-06-16 14:40:07 [hometext] => I wrote these song lyrics in 1989. Two years later they were recorded by country artist Keith Bradford. Copyright 1990. [bodytext] => When I was younger I made the mistake of falling in love.
I was only eighteen years old and I knew this girl.
She was five foot five
and when I saw her I came alive.

She was the most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen
and she meant everything to me.
I should've been more honest with her from the start.
Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten a broken heart.

Recitation:
I should've told her how I felt but I'd been hurt before
and this heart of mine couldn't take anymore.
Finally I got up the courage to go to her house and talk to her
but when I got there, she had just eloped.
If I would've been honest with her from the start,
then maybe I wouldn't have gotten a broken heart.
My love for her grew day by day.
Now that I know she's in his arms, the pain just won't go away.
When I think of how I got hurt, I begin to cry
and I just want to curl up and die.
Now I sit at home and drink my whiskey everyday.
Just trying to make the pain go away.
Now they'll be together until they die
and when I think of it, I break down and cry. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Randyjohnson [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
