[Verse 1]
A little mistake can be a big thing
A little headache can be a whole lot of pain
Oh, what a heartache, look at what you started
You sweet thing, you silly thing
Down in a deep sleep, this is where you'll find me
Hiding from everything
All of the mistakes, every little big thing
They can take a small sin

[Chorus]
And make a whole lot of pain
It was a little mistake

[Verse 2]
I could be a nova, you could be aurora
We could be a cluster, a little pocket of art
In the night sky, without all the lifelike
Dislike, a respite
From all the mistakes, every little big thing
They can take a wee sting

[Chorus]
And make a whole lot of pain
It was a little mistake
[Bridge 1]
Happy little baby, makin’ all the ladies squeal
But even little toddlers, they can be the cause of real
Real pain

[Chorus]
It was a little mistake

[Bridge 2]
Silly little monster, come in here to scare our love again
But I won't let him harm ya, I won't let him cause ya real
(One, two, three) Real pain
Real pain

[Chorus]
It was a little mistake
And now you’re slippin' away
It was a little mistake
And now a whole lot of pain

[Outro]
(I'm sorry)
