My Mistake (Was To Love You)
Diana Ross
(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
