If You Can t Learn From My Mistakes - Moby Grape

First of all i thought to turn away from you

Then you did the same for me

No one knows if clover leaves

Will always come in fours

But if you can't learn from my mistakes

Woman i can't learn from yours

You chose another man to give you back your pride

Before you gave a chance to me

Just as sure as rivers couldn't wind

If it weren't for shores

You can't hide from my mistakes

Woman i can't hide from yours

I didn't mean to put an ending to our time

Or let you leave the way you came

Or do for one another

Like the carpet does the floor

But you can't pay for my mistakes

Woman i can't pay for yours
