Mistake Number Three
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow
Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go
And make Mistake Number Three
make Mistake Number Three
make Mistake Number Three
make Mistake Number Three
(Mistake Number Three)
It's strange how much it changes
How they want to know
How cynical are people
That's where children go
Dragged into a conversation
They can't hold
Its so sad but it prepares them
For the mould
They make Mistake Number Three yeah
make Mistake Number Three
make Mistake Number Three yeah
They make Mistake Number Three
(Mistake Number.....)
Why is my love like an ocean run dry?
And why is my love such a struggle with life?
You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them go
Make Mistake Number Three yeah
make Mistake Number Three
make Mistake Number Three yeah
They make Mistake Number Three
Making Mistakes
Oooooh yeh
Mistake Number 3
Thats Mistake Number Three
Mistakes you made, mistakes you made, mistakes you made with me
Mistake
