Chi-Lites - My first Mistake (Lyrics)

(First Verse)
Oooh, Ooh’ what a feeling (babe)
Loving you - Oh’ what a feeling
and losing you - I never get over
watched you walk right out of my life
you wouldn’t’ve shared of me
to watch you slowly disappear
is something that I can’t see

(Hook 1)
yet my first mistake
was my last, LAST mistake
and I’ll never fall in love
never fall in love again

(Second Verse)
Oooh, Ooh’ what a feeling
(when you touch me)
yeah - I was blinded - ooh by the kisses
girl, you stole my mind
treated me bad
how could I be so unwise?
I guess I was easy prey
your lovely face I must erase
to face another day

(Hook 1)
but my first mistake
was my last, LAST mistake
and I’ll never fall in love
never fall in love again (ooooh, ooooh)

(Third Verse)
You, you, you,
you, you, you, you
Loving you and needing you
was my mistake - hey baby
& needing you, wanting you
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
was my mistake - well…

(Hook 2)
betcha I won’t make that same mistake again
I betcha I never make that same mistake again
Loving you, needing you was my mistake
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
Hey! (betchu betchu betchu)

(sax solo)

You, you, you took all my love
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
Hey Girl! (betchu betchu betchu betchu)
Loving you, needing you was my mistake
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
well… (betchu betchu betchu)

(hook 3)
I betcha I won’t make that same mistake again
I betcha I never make that same mistake again
You, you, you, you,
you, you, you, you, you, you, you (Aaaaah, betchu)
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
Loving you and needing you - my mistake
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
Yeah Yeah Hey!
needing you and wanting you was my mistake
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
Hey babe! (betchu betchu)

~ Rest
Shoo! Wa wa wa wa wa wa wah!
Shoo! Wa wa wa wa wa wa wah!

(sax solo)
~ Rest

(hook 4)
Loving you, needing you
was my mistake
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
Hey Hey Hey! (Aaah betchu)
needing you and wanting you
was my mistake
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
Yeah! (betchu betchu, betchu, betchu)

I betcha I won’t make that same mistake again
I betcha I won’t make that same mistake again
You, you, you,
you, you, you, you, you, you, you
(betcha won’t make that same mistake again)
(Aaaaah)
