Lyrics

I believe in give and take

But you can't take much for long

And I believe in given chances

But you keep doing me wrong, oh so wrong

I gave my heart, I gave my love, I gave my soul

I never thought that love and lies would be told

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

Never make that same mistake again, oh, oh

Never make that same mistake again, oh

Looking out the window, tears rolling down my face

Thinking 'bout the wrong you've done and all of the pain

Said you didn't mean to hurt me

And you don't want to desert me

What am I supposed to do?

I gave my time, I gave my trust, I gave my all

I never thought that this love would take a fall

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

Never make that same mistake again, oh, oh

Never make that same mistake again, oh

Lesson number one, I should have talked to you

Just to find out what to do

But now I'm out here on my own

While somebody else claimed my throne

Come here, baby, let me make it up to you

And please don't go, don't say that we're through

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

Never make that same mistake again, oh, oh

Never make that same mistake again, oh

Lesson number one, I should have talked to you

Just to find out what to do

But now I'm out here on my own

While somebody else claimed my throne

Come here, baby, let me make it up to you

And please don't go, don't say that we're through

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

Never make that same mistake again, oh, oh

Never make that same mistake again, oh

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

That was my first mistake, my first mistake

Never make that same mistake again, oh, oh

Never make that same mistake again, oh
