(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
