Mea Culpa

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am imagining a man Sits like a statue at his typewriter Trying to think how to begin And write his poor wife a final letter [Verse 2] "If you are reading this I'm gone They locked me up and threw the keys away my love Though it is true what I have done I'm still the man, the man that I was" Da da, da-a-a, da dum [Verse 3] "I am a sinner now it's true And mea culpa for the time I wasted you I swear I never hurt a fly I'm gonna miss you, love and kisses, goodbye" Goodbye, goodbye [Chorus] 'Cause there's plenty more bad mistakes for us to make Before we come undone More bad mistakes for us to make It's our idea of fun More bad mistakes for us to make It's our condition More bad mistakes for us to make Before we fuck it all up [Verse 4] A woman sitting at her window Thinking her son is going straight to hell now Praying to god, "What have I done? My boy's going down, down, down, down with the devil" [Verse 5] He called to say "I'm getting married To a nice fellow I met in the navy And now I'm proud to say, "I do" With or without you With or without you, mother With or without you Ooo And your goddamn blessing" [Chorus] 'Cause there's plenty more bad mistakes for us to make Before we come undone More bad mistakes for us to make It's our idea of fun More bad mistakes for us to make It's our condition More bad mistakes for us to make Before we fuck it all up
