My Mistake

Kerosene eyes I saw the future, it burned me alive I broke his heart in one night And I left Missouri behind Thought he was the one Tortured soul in a preacher's son Yeah, he prayed on his knees He preyed on my need to be the light Someone's gotta love me not in vain Somebody's gotta love me just the same Somebody's gonna love me, I know it's true My mistake was thinking it was you Sometimes I forget It wasn't always so innocent He put a ring in my hand I lied when I said I wouldn't leave That was years ago But it was always inevitable Yeah, most days he's gone Some days he comes and talks to me, to me Someone's gotta love me not in vain Somebody's gotta love me just the same Somebody's gonna love me, I know it's true My mistake was thinking it was you Ooh, ooh Yeah, it took some time To see the difference Between him and I And I'm still not quite sure Just what I deserve But Someone's gotta love me Someone's gotta love me Someone's gotta love me, I know it's true Someone's gotta love me Someone's gotta love me Somebody's gonna love me I know it's true My mistake was thinking it was you Ooh ooh, it's true My mistake was thinking it was you
