Lyrics Otis Redding – Everybody Makes A Mistake

Out in the street, all night
While the one who love me
She was sitting at home
I was a fool

But when I got home, oh
My baby, she was gone
And I found a letter
Right there on the kitchen floor, it read:

«I tried to wait for you to come, honey
But like a fool…»
I’m sorry
Everybody makes a mistake sometimes

«So if you are running around with somebody else
Try to satisfy, man you can’t satisfy your selfish self
Man, you gotta take heed
‘Cause that same thing might happen to you someday
Everybody makes a mistake sometimes

I know, because I’ve made mine
I made a great big one
I made a great big one
I want you to come back to me baby
I love you darling
I love you baby
