Mistake Number Three [Culture Club]

Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George

You can't bystand all the people

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
