My Mistakes
I can see you are disappointed by the way you look at me
and I'm sorry that I'm not the woman you thought of me
yes, I've made my mistakes, listen, and understand
my mistakes are no worse than yours
just because I am a woman.
so when you look at me
don't feel sorry for yourself
just think of all the shame you might've brought somebody else.
just let me tell you this that we both know where we stand
and my mistakes are no worse than yours just because I am a woman.
you no, man will take a good girl and he'll ruin her reputation but when he wants to marry, well, that's a different situation
he'll just walk go and leave her to do the best she can
while he looks for an angel to wear his wedding band.
no I know that I am no angel if that's what you thought you'd found
I was just a victim of the man that let me down
yes, I've made my mistakes, listen, and understand
my mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman.
you, know. . . to fall in love and wisely once is bad luck
and to love foolishly twice is disaster.
I know falling in love doesn't always bring a happy ending because love is like quick sand, the more you wriggle,
the deeper you sink
it is good and flaring but does not always work out the way you would have wanted it to impress
no wonder so many of us become victims of what we thought was genuine love at first
we all make mistakes but when it gets right down to it you find out that it's better to have loved and lost than never, never to have loved at all
no I know that I am no angel
if that's what you thought you'd found
I was just a victim of the man that let me down
yes, I've made my mistakes, listen, and understand
my mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman. (fade in. . . .)
