My mistake was to love you, girl   Love you, girl   My mistake was to give you all   Tell the world      First I had you   In the palm of my hand   But I let you slip through   Like grains of sand   At the beginning   When I didn't care   Like my own reflection   You were always there      My mistake was to love you, girl   Love you, girl   My mistake was to give you all   Tell the world      You were sweeter   Then 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      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 was to give you all   Tell the world
