خمس دقائق فقط يا حبيبتي

I went and did a little dance
On the path of least resistance
The words your girlfriend said went to my head
Next thing she knew I crawled into her bed and
Mistakes were made
The odds of a couple were shattered

I slipped into her crumpled sheets
I slept a sinner and a cheat
And when the sun came up, I’d made my bed
Next thing I knew I’d sleep in it
Mistakes were made
The lives of innocents were shattered

She: "You should have stayed in our own bed
You should have known you would regret
You should have read the writing on the wall"

But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes, and took the fall

I should have stayed in our own bed
I should have known I would regret
I should have read the writing on the wall, you said
But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes, and took the fall

Got up and back into my own pants
Then on the path of dire consequences
I walked it all the way back to your place
Back to the edge of yesterdays
Regrets were had
The dreams of a lover were shattered

And so I begged, down on my knees
That you forgive me, forgive me please
The way you laughed right in my face
Next thing I knew we’d had our days
Revenge was had
The life of a fool was shattered

I should have stayed in our own bed
I should have known I would regret
I should have read the writing on the wall, you said
But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes and took the fall

I should have stayed in our own bed
(Choir: He should have stayed in his own bed)
I should have known I would regret
(Choir: He should have known he would regret)
I should have read the writing on the wall, you said
(Choir: He should have read the writing on the wall, she said)
But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes, and took the fall

Mistakes Were Made
