Diana Ross
 (P. Sawyer/G. Jones)

 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 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
 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 om ny 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
