My mistake was to love you, girlLove you, girlMy mistake was to give you allTell the worldFirst I had youIn the palm of my handBut I let you slip throughLike rain to sandAt the beginningWhen I didn't careLike my own reflectionYou were always thereMy mistake was to love you, girlLove you, girlMy mistake was to give you allTell the worldYou were sweeterThen my very own skinBut what did I do for youNot a thingIn front of my friendsYou broke me downSince then darlingIt's hard to track you downMy mistake was to love you, boyLove you, boyMy mistake was to give my allTell the worldMany a smileYou put om ny faceBut I paid dearlyWith the tears I tasteMy tendernessMade you cold, not sweet'Cause if a girl loves youYou only call her weakMy mistake was to love you, boyLove you, boyMy mistake was to give my allTell the worldMy mistake was to love you, girlLove you, girlMy mistake was to give you allTell the world
