My Mistake (Was to Love You) Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Oh-oh-oh-oh, baby (oh-oh-oh-oh, baby)
Ooh (ooh)

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
My very own king
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

Ooh, yeah baby
Oh-oh-oh, my mistake

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
(Oh love you girl) love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world

My mistake (my my mistake)
Was to love you, girl (love you boy)
Love you, girl (love you boy)


My mistake baby (my my mistake)
Was to give my all
Tell the world

My mistake (my my mistake)
Was to love you, girl (love you boy)
Love you, girl (love you boy)
