I've been letting you down, down
Girl, I know I've been such a fool
Giving in to temptation
I should of played it cool
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand...
CHORUS:
It can happen to anyone of us
Anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
'cos i made a stupid mistake
It can happen to anyone of us
Say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take
My heart will break
'cos i made a stupid mistake...a stupid mistake
She was kind of exciting
A little crazy
I should of known
She must have altered my senses
As i offered to walk her home
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand...
REPEAT CHORUS + a stupid mistake
She means nothing to me...nothing to me
I swear every word is true
Don't want to lose you
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
REPEAT CHORUS
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Their hearts will break
'cos I made a stupid mistake...a stupid mistake...
