I know I've made mistakes before I guess that I'll make a few more 'Cause nobody is perfect and I will explain it that way And baby you're just a bad mistake I've made I gave you my love to take in your hands And I've tried to be strong but I'm only a man I just couldn't be givin' much more than I could take Baby you're just a bad mistake I've made Someday you'll remember what I'm sayin' When you wake up and you realize the price that you're paying There'll come a time farther on When you'll think by on the hurt you brought on And he's gonna hurt you and you'll have to pay And like me again you'll never make the same mistake Oh baby, you're just a bad mistake I've made
