My Mistake (Was To Love You) Lyrics By Diana Ross Marvin Gaye

    marvin
    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

    diana
    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

    marvin
    many a smile
    you put on my face
    but i paid dearly
    with the tears i taste

    diana
    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

    marvin
    my mistake was to love you girl
    love you girl
    my mistake was to give you all
    tell the world
