Everybody Makes a Mistake

Out in the street

Playin' all night long

While the one that loved me

Man, she was sitting at home

Oh I didn't worry, I was a fool

Playing the field

And running around having fun, man

I know everybody make a mistake sometime

But when I got home

My baby, she was gone

And I found her letter lying

Right there on the kitchen floor

It read, "I tried to wait

For you to come, honey

But like a fool

You were running around doing me wrong"

I'm sorry, I know, baby

Everybody make a mistake sometime

I know I made one

And oh, so if you are running around

With somebody else

Tryin' to satisfy

Man, you can't satisfy you selfish self

So man, you gotta take heed

Listen to every word I'm saying

'Cause that same thing, man

Might happen to you one day

And you know that everybody

Man, I know that everybody

Make a mistake sometime

I know because I made mine

I made a great big one

Man, I made mine

I made a great big one

And I can't do it no more

No, I'm never gonna do it

I want you to come back to me, baby
