Is love just a big mistake

Just a risk that we all take

Trying to keep the blues away

Is love just a means to an end

Back when you were my girlfriend

Had some one I could defend

I'll sit by the riverside

Counting all the ways to make you stay

When I think of you and I

I know I'll be back with you some day

Is love just a big mistake

Just a choice we have to make

Trying to keep the blues away

I'll sit by the riverside

Counting all the ways to make you stay

When I think of you and I

I know I'll be back with you some day

Oh the birds and the bees

The leaves on the trees

Die all at once

Now that you're gone

I know that I will be back in your arms once again

Oh the birds and the bees

The leaves on the trees

Die all at once

Now that you're gone

I know that I will be back in your arms once again

I'll sit by the riverside

Counting all the ways to make you stay

When I think of you and I

I know I'll be back with you some day

Is love just a big mistake

Just a risk that we all take

Trying to keep the blues away
