I Made a Mistake - Curtis Mayfield, The Impressions

I made a mistake, yes I did yes I did

I made a mistake, yes I did

Now myself I hate

For it was me and not fate

Who lost because of my mistake

I sent away the girl I love

I said I sent away the girl I love

She ran from me hurt cryin'

Now my hearts slowly dying

Fool is he who made the mistake

My trust in her has come, much too late

Woe what a fool I’ve been tonight

The girl I love forever out of sight

Now myself I hate

For it was me and not fate

Who lost because of my mistake

My trust in her has come, much too late

She ran from me hurt cryin'

Now my hearts slowly dying

Fool is he who made the mistake

My trust in her has come, much too late

Oh, what a fool I’ve been

My true love has…
