"The Only Thing" lyrics

The Only Thing

I've made many mistakes
In my lifetime
The foolish things I've done
Have might been few
But the only thing
I've ever done worth doing
Is fall in love with you

I've wasted many a tear
In my lifetime
On foolish dreams
That never could come true
But the only thing
I've ever done worth doing
Is fall in love with you

Because of you I changed my way of living
Because of you my life has changed a lot
The only thing worth having
Is worth giving
The best
Of everything you've got

I've wasted many a day
Being lonely
But now I know
My lonely days are through
Cause the only thing
I've ever done worth doing
Is fall in love with you

Yes, the only thing
I've ever done worth doing
Is fall in love with you
