lyrics

DON'T BE THE MISTAKE
(H. Kourkoutis/D. Downham)

Why'd you think you could come onto me?
Am I wearing a sign?
I'm not an invitation for one of your lines
What makes you think you would come home with me?
Just go step behind the line
It's not that kind of situation

You're gonna say what you say
But I could never be swayed

Oooh
Why'd you wanna be the mistake and take what you fake
Oooh
Why don't you just give it a break
Don't be the mistake
Don't be the mistake

What makes you think it's a good idea
To get up in my face?
You're not part of the conversation get off of my case
It's time a woman stood up to you
And called you out on your game
We don't need another altercation

'Cause when you say what you say
I will never be swayed

Oooh
Why'd you wanna be the mistake and take what you fake
Oooh
Why don't you just give it a break
Don't be the mistake
Don't be the mistake

You probably think that you are something great
That you have some privileged personality trait
But I wanna know when you come to me
And you say what you say
Would you talk to your own mother that way
If the answer is no-- just walk away

Oooh
Why'd you wanna be the mistake and take what you fake
Oooh
Why don't you just give it a break
Don't be the mistake
Don't be the mistake
