One mistake, (one mistake)
Is all I evever made;
I broke your tender heart
A heart that held a love so true

One mistake, (one mistake)
And now I've paid, have paid;
Now I'm comin' back to beg forgiveness
From you

Why did I leave you?
Why did I grieve you?
Why did I yearn to be free?
Since I broke the ties
I realise
There's no greater love for me!

One mistake, (one mistake)
Is all I evever made;
I broke your tender heart
A heart that held a love so true

One mistake, (one mistake)
And now I've paid, have paid;
Now I'm comin' back to beg forgiveness
From you
