My Most Beautiful Mistake Ft The Imposters Letras

She was a part-time waitress with a dream of greatness
That nobody knew of or even suspected
Though it was sometimes reflected in the slant of a mirror
It was buried so deep and so dear
She caught the eye of a guy passing by who said

"My, if I prove to be faithless, you'll surely know why

Oh, why?

You'll probably know why"

Then again you may say

"Mister, you've got a nerve

Most of us never get just what we deserve"

I'll smile sweetly

"I'm here at your service"



And the camera walks us through into a sunlit room

Where a one-hit wonder lives

And he says, "Action" and, "That's a take"

You are my most beautiful mistake



"It's not your reputation I'm trying to besmirch"

"I'm here undercover, I'm writing this screenplay"

"You might be my inspiration, it's beyond my control"

"So it's my soulful and wounded expression, that you'd like to console?"



There's a hand that lingers a little too long

There are lies you will hear, that they're singing right now

Right here, right here in this song

And the lens pulls the focus on his magnum opus

He's a one-hit wonder kid

And he says, "Action" and, "That's a take"

You are my most beautiful mistake



He made a portrait of her face out of burnt out matches

She said "The trouble is, Sunshine, I know what the catch is

You'll offer me nothing, you'll offer me riches

I've seen your kind before in courtroom sketches"



From the booth in the corner

From a different perspective

Where a man plays the fool or a private detective

He wrote her name out in sugar on a Formica counter

"You could be the game that captures the hunter"

Then he went out for cigarettes

As the soundtrack played The Marvelettes



Let me check the script

Check the continuity

You'll be up on that screen for eternity

The billboard will spit

"That look! That's it!"

Take a little pill and you will get over it

The light will hit you if you drop that hint

Now "Cut" and "Print"

And the camera walks us through into a low-lit room

Where a one-hit wonder lives

And he says, "Action" and "That's a take"

You are my most beautiful mistake



She left a tip in the jar and a note at the door

It said, "I'm going away, I won't be back anymore

If the call should come later to commute my sentence"

"Dance a little jig for my repentance"

"Dance a little jig for my repentance"

"Dance a little jig for my repentance"
