美國搖滾巨星［雪瑞兒可洛］&英國搖滾大將［艾瑞克拉普頓］的謠傳──另類流行搖滾──［My Favorite Mistake／我最愛的錯誤］

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 looked at the clock when you creep in.

It's 6 AM 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 favorite mistake.

Your friends are sorry for me.

They watch you pretend to adore me.

But I am no fool to this game.

Now here comes your secret lover,

She'll be unlike any other,

Until your guilt goes up in flames.

Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending,

To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending.

When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake

You're my favorite mistake.

Well maybe nothing lasts forever,

Even when you stay together.

I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go

So I'm holding on this way.

Did you know could you tell you were the only one

That I ever loved?

Now everything's so wrong.

Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry?

Now you're my favorite mistake

Yeah you're my favorite mistake

You're my favorite mistake

１９９８年秋初　３６歲的美國搖滾歌手雪瑞兒可洛（Sheryl Crow）發行第三張大碟［The Globol Sessons／環球樂章］ 由她獨力製作

登上美國專輯榜＃５（雙白金）　英國榜亞軍（白金）

首支主打是［My Favorite Mistake／我最愛的錯誤］　由可洛與Jeff Trott合寫

是首另類搖滾流行, 在中板的節奏間, 雪瑞兒娓娓敘述一段不忠的感情

一般猜測歌中男主角是曾和她戀愛的英國搖滾巨星艾瑞克拉普頓（Eric Clapton）, 雖然可洛否認

［My Favorite Mistake］登上美國單曲榜＃２０（＋現代滾榜＃２６）

英國榜＃９　日本國際榜冠軍　加拿大亞軍　紐西蘭＃１６　瑞士＃２９　瑞典＃５２　法國７０　德國＃７９　澳洲／荷蘭＃７９

此曲隔年為可洛提名葛萊美最佳流行女歌手（雖然沒得）

［The Globol Sessons］則讓她拿到最佳搖滾專輯

堪稱雪瑞兒的代表作之一

雖然聆賞［My Favorite Mistake］的次數不多, 但它的旋律始終留在腦海中

可見此曲的動聽程度
