Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just that sweet little mystery that can break my heart
And just that sweet little mystery makes me cry
Oh, that sweet little mystery in your heart
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try
[Verse 2]
My friends all tell me that I look so sad
And they don't need to ask me why
They know the reason that I feel so bad
Since the night you said goodbye
[Verse 3]
It's not the letters that you just don't write
It's not the arms of some new friend
It's not the crying in the dead of the night
That keeps me hanging on, waiting for the end
[Verse 4]
Just that sweet little mystery that's in your heart
Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry
Oh, that sweet little mystery that's in your heart
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try
[Verse 5]
I watch the street, I watch the radio
I don't need to turn it on
Another friend comes by and tries to say hello
Another weekend's almost gone
[Verse 6]
It's not the letters that you just don't write
It's not the arms of some new friend
It's not the crying in the dead of the night
That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end
[Verse 7]
It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart
Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry
Oh, that sweet little mystery that's in your heart
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try
[Verse 8]
The time is flying fast and I don't care
To spend another night alone
I want to see you but I don't know when
Till then I'm walking on my own
[Verse 9]
It's not the letters that you just don't write
It's not the arms of some new friend
It's not the crying in the dead of the night
That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end
[Verse 10]
It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart
It's just that sweet little mystery makes me cry
Oh, that sweet little mystery that's in your heart
It's just that sweet little mystery makes me try
[Verse 11]
That sweet little mystery that's in your heart
It's just that sweet little mystery makes me cry
Oh, that sweet little mystery that's in your heart
It's just that sweet little mystery makes me try
[Verse 12]
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery, sweet mystery
[Verse 13]
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery, sweet mystery
[Verse 14]
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Sweet mystery
