Lyrics

  1. Maybe it was your fault
    Maybe it was mine
    What diff’rence does it make, sweetheart?
    You made your mistake
    The same as I made mine
    You know we weren’t meant to be apart

Chorus
Don’t let it happen again
It happened before, remember?
We thought we were smart
And almost broke each other’s heart
Don’t let it happen again
Let’s not be sorry again
Like we were before, remember?
We’ll only be blue
And we’ll regret it if we do
Don’t let it happen again
What’s a little quarrel
Can’t we kiss and make up like all lovers do?
Ev’ry time we quarrel
Does it mean we have to say we’re thru?
Don’t let it happen again
It happened before, remember?
The heartaches we had
The love we lost while we were mad
Don’t let it happen again

  1. Here we are together
    Lovers like before
    Remember how we cried, sweetheart?
    Careless little words
    That’s all, and nothing more
    We should have been more careful at the start
