My Mistake (Was To Love You) (1995)

Marvin Gaye
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby
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, to love you, girl
My mistake, baby, was to 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
Yeah baby
My mistake, yeah
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, baby, was to give you all, tell the world
My mistake was to love you, girl, love you, girl
