My Mistake

She said "Girl, you're comin home with me tonight"
 
And who was I to refuse
 
We had a real good time
 
I fell in love with her smile
 
So why am I so confused
 
She didn't know I wasn't off the clock
 
 
I was an undercover cop
 
I never meant to get involved
 
I didn't want to see her hurt
 
But then when she found out
 
The tears came spilling out
 
And I let her walk away
 
 
I should've never let you go
 
That was my mistake
 
But I promise you girl
 
None of it was fake
 
You mean the world to me
 
I'm begging you please
 
Just give me a chance to explain
 
I should've never let you go
 
I should've told you the truth
 
But the truth is I can't
 
Live without you
 
So just give me one night
 
I can make this right
 
Please say you'll forgive me
 
For my mistake
 
 
I said "Girl you are the Bonnie to my Clyde"
 
You make me feel complete
 
I'm nothing without you
 
And I don't know what to do
 
Whenever you're not here
 
 
I knew how she felt about lying
 
But I was still in denial
 
I never meant to fall in love
 
But she swept me off my feet
 
Yeah she made me see stars
 
My walls came crashing down
 
And now my heart is broken
 
 
I should've never let you go
 
That was my mistake
 
But I promise you girl
 
None of it was fake
 
You mean the world to me
 
I'm begging you please
 
Just give me a chance to explain
 
I should've never let you go
 
I should've told you the truth
 
But the truth is I can't
 
Live without you
 
So just give me one night
 
I can make this right
 
Please say you'll forgive me
 
For my mistake
 
 
Baby I'm so sorry
 
You have to believe me
 
I know it's crazy
 
But you're the reason
 
I'm alive and breathing
 
There's not much more
 
That I can say
 
Please forgive me
 
For my mistake
 
 
I should've never let you go
 
That was my mistake
 
But I promise you girl
 
None of it was fake
 
You mean the world to me
 
I'm begging you please
 
Just give me a chance to explain
 
I should've never let you go
 
I should've told you the truth
 
But the truth is I can't
 
Live without you
 
So just give me one night
 
I can make this right
 
Please say you'll forgive me
 
For my mistake
