Mistakes
I wasn't born good
Back in my childhood
They called me headstrong
And they weren't at all wrong
I used persuasion
And manipulation
To get what I wanted
Typical rich kid
I see the harm now
I wish there was somehow
Just to erase it
But I have to face it
Cos I know I've made mistakes
And I know the toll it takes
And I'm sorry baby cakes
Them's the breaks I've made mistakes
Growing a conscience
That moral substance
Ain't always easy
You must believe me
Making the choices,
Hushing the voices,
Trying to live right
It's like a prize fight
Still, when I look in that big book
I see the mark against my name, that's my shame
Cos I know I've made mistakes
And I know the toll it takes
And I'm sorry baby cakes
Them's the breaks I've made mistakes
At the end of it all, I've become who I am
You decide for yourself how much you can stand
Does that sound like a plan? I think that's a plan.
If we're gonna relive all the things that we done
I think I'd probably beg for mercy at the first f*cking one
Cos it gives me the shakes I've made mistakes.
