My Favorite Mistake

(mhm-hmm) You said you’d only stay for one drink,

Three hours later, what do you think?

You stole my chair,

you stole my wine,

Then somehow you convinced me that was fine.

You’re my favorite mistake,

My most questionable choice,

The reason I lose my patience And the reason I rejoice.

You’re my favorite mistake,

Though I won’t say it twice,

You drive me absolutely crazy—

And I rather like the price.

You forget your keys,

you lose your hat,

You blame the dog— We don’t own a cat.

You tell the same joke every night,

I pretend it’s funny.

SINGER:

…All right, it’s kind of funny. (haha)

You’re my favorite mistake,

My beautifully bad idea,

If trouble had a handsome face,

I’d probably keep you near.

I could choose somebody sensible,

Someone calm and well behaved,

But where’s the fun in that,

my dear? I’d rather misbehave.

(ooh-la-la) You’re my favorite mistake,

And I’m keeping you around,

Just try not to break the furniture

The next time we dance around. (woo!)
