 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

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
