(P. Sawyer/G. 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
