My Mistake (Was To Love You) 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
