[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
Just let me tell you this
Then we'll both know where we stand
[Bridge]
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
[Verse 4]
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 5]
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 6]
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 lets me down
[Outro]
No, my mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
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
Just let me tell you this
Then we'll both know where we stand
[Bridge]
My mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
[Verse 4]
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 5]
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 6]
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 lets me down
[Outro]
No, my mistakes are no worse than yours
Just because I'm a woman
