Oh, oh baby Ooh, yeah My mistake was to love you, girl Love you, girl My mistake was to give my all Tell the world First I had you in the palm of my hand But I let you slip through like grains of sand In 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 sweetest mistake was to give my all Tell the world You were sweeter then my very own kin 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 To the world Many a smile you put on my face But I paid dearly for the tears I taste My tenderness may be 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 Love you, boy My mistake Tell the world My, my mistake Love you, boy
