Lyrics:

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



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
