"My Second Mistake" Lyrics

I lectured all the boys
Ridinf high up on the horse
Preaching up a sermon infidelity course
So I tried
Lord I tried
But I failed

I headed west with the best intentions
Ended up in Germany in my master bedroom
But I tried
Lord I tried
But I failed

I want to do as my brothers do
I'm making simple mistakes
I want to love as a lover should
Seems I do not have what it takes

I said I love you
Maybe that was my first mistake

I want to learn how to be a real man
Like my mother and father presume I already am
Not for show
Not for style
This time for real

I know I don't have what it takes to start or stop a war
But I do know is that change can be the greatest move of all
So I will try
This time I'll try
But I won't fail

I want to do as my brothers do
I'm making simple mistakes
I want to love as a lover should
Seems I do not have what it takes

Showed you my weakness
Maybe that was my second mistake

Oh but it's
It's time to love you
Time to give it all that it takes

Lord

I want to do as my brothers do
I'm making simple mistakes
I want to love as a lover should
Seems I do not have what it takes

I said I love you
Maybe that was my first mistake

Showed you my weakness
Maybe that was my second mistake

Oh but it's, it's time to love you
Time to give it all that it takes

Next time I'm tempted to by to surrender to the British forces
I'll lock my ding ding dong out in the stable with the horses
And I'll try
This time I'll try
And I won't fail
