SHERYL CROW - MY FAVOURITE MISTAKE
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
I Woke Up And Called This Morning
The Tone Of Your Voice Was A Warning
That You Don't Care For Me Anymore
I Made Up The Bed We Sleep In
I Look At The Clock When You Creep In
6am And I'm Alone
Did You Know When You Go It's The Perfect Ending
To The Bad Day, I Was Just Beginning
When You Go All I Know Is
You're My Favourite Mistake
Now Your Friends Are Sorry For Me
They Watch You Prtend To Adore Me
But I'm No Fool To This Game
Now Here Comes Your Secret Lover
She'll Be Unlike Any Other
Until Your Gault Goes Up In Flames
Did You Know When You Go It's The Perfect Ending
To The Bad Day, I Was Just Beginning
When You Go All I Know Is
You're My Favourite Mistake
You're My Favourite Mistake
Maybe Nothing Lasts Forever
Even When You Stay Together
I Don't Need Forever After
It's Your Laughter
Won't Let Me Go So I'm Holding On This Way
Well Did You Know
Could You Tell
You Were The Only One
That I Ever Loved
When Everything's So Wrong
Did You See Me Walking By
Did It Ever Make You Cry
You're My Favourite Mistake
You're My Favourite Mistake
You're My Favourite Mistake
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Sheryl Crow, Jeff Trott
Producer(s): Sheryl Crow
This Is Rumored To Be About Eric Clapton, Who Crow Dated For A While. She Has Said It Is Not About One Person In Particular, But A Composite Of Guys She Went Out With Who Weren't Good For Her. Clapton Appears On Her 1999 Album Sheryl Crow And Friends: Live From Central Park, Where He Performed "White Room."
Crow Learned From Carly Simon That It Might Be A Good Idea Not To Say Who The Song Is About. Simon Has Never Said Who Her 1972 Song "You're So Vain" Is About, Which Has Kept People Talking About It.
The Video Is Pretty Straightforward, With Crow Miming And Vamping To The Song In An Unadorned Room. It Was Directed By Samuel Bayer, Who Used The Sepia Look And Film Transitions That Show Up In A Lot Of His Work.
