Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye - My Mistake (Was To Love You) lyrics

rate me

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 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 baby, give my all

Tell the world

You were sweeter than 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 on my 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 my all

Tell the world

My mistake was to love you, girl
