My Mistake (was To Love You) Lyrics

(Pamela Sawyer/Gloria Jones)
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you,
girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
First I had
you
In the palm of my hand
But I let you slip through
Like rain to
sand
At the beginning
When I didn't care
Like my own reflection
You
were always there
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My
mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
You were sweeter
Then my
very own skin
But what did I do for you
Not a thing
In front of my
friends
You broke me down
Since then darling
It's hard to track you
down
My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to
give my all
Tell the world
Many a smile
You put om ny face
But I
paid dearly
With the tears I taste
My tenderness
Made you cold, not
sweet
'Cause if a girl loves you
You only call her weak
My mistake was
to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the
world
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was
to give you all
Tell the world
