Lyrics Marvin Gaye – My Mistake (Was To Love You)
Text:
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
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
