Mistake No. 3 -- Culture Club

Charted: 1984+
Peaked at #33
Epic/Virgin -- 05847
From the album "Waking Up With The House On Fire"
B-Side "Don't Go Down That Street"

You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow
Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go

Chorus:
And make mistake number three, yeah (mistake number three)
Make mistake number three (mistake number three)
Make mistake number three, yeah (mistake number three)
Make mistake number three (mistake number three)

It's strange how much it changes
How they want to know
How cynical are people
That's where children go
Dragged into a conversation
They can't hold
It's so sad
But, it prepares them for the mold

Chorus

Why is my love like an ocean run dry
Why is my love such a struggle with life

You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow

Chorus

Making mistakes (mistake number three)
Mistake number three, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's mistake number three
Mistakes you make
Mistakes you make
Mistakes you make (mistake number three)
Mistake
