I Made A Mistake
Bob Marley · Other Songs - Bob Marley
Made a mistake, yes, I did, yes, I did
Now I'm so far from her, but it was me and my fate
Who lost because of my mistake
My trusting her has gone much too late
I've sent away the girl I love
I said, I've sent away the girl I love
She well gone, people crying
Said, my bold heart been dying
Who is it who made that mistake?
Who is it who made that mistake?
Oh, what a fool I've been tonight
The girl I love is out of sight
Now I'm so far from her, but it was me and my fate
Who lost because of my mistake
My trusting her has gone much too late
Oh, what a fool I've been tonight
The girl I love is out of sight
Now I'm so far from her, but it was me and my fate
Who lost because of my mistake, my, my mistake
Who lost because of my mistake
