Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can see you're disappointed
By the way you look at me
And I'm sorry that I'm not the woman
You thought I'd be
[Verse 2]
Yes, I've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
[Verse 3]
So when you look at me
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Just think of all the shame you might have brought somebody else
[Verse 4]
Just let me tell you this
Then we'll both know where we stand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
[Verse 5]
Now a man will take a good girl
And he'll ruin her reputation
But when he wants to marry
Well, that's a different situation
[Verse 6]
He'll just walk off and leave her
To do the best she can
While he looks for an angel
To wear his wedding band
[Verse 7]
Now I know that I'm no angel
If that's what you thought you'd found
I was just the victim of
A man that let me down
[Verse 8]
Yes, I've made my mistakes
But listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
[Verse 9]
No, my mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
