Am I Making the Same Mistake Again - Ruth Brown

Oh, when am I gonna realize\nCan’t bet my heart every time it cries\nThe things you never expect\nThat cause so much regret\nI could have been much further today\nIf I had learned from my mistake\nLike a stubborn child\nI wouldn’t use my head\nRemember what the old folks said\nOh, you just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake\nOh, Lord, you just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake\nI need to tell you\nOver and over again\nHallelujah\nOver and over again\nWhen I think I’m over the hill\nSomething happens to kill the will\nThe things that I enjoy\nSeems always be destroyed\nJerry, I bit off more than I can chew\nDepending on someone to see me through\nMama said the blind can’t lead the blind\nSon, always keep this in mind\nOh, you just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake\nSay it again, you just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake\nOh, no\nOver and over again\nHallelujah\nOver and over again\nWell, well, well\nIf a boxer telegraphs his punch\nOr a fly when he catches lunch\nThe element of surprise\nMake a whole lot of people realize\nSometimes you find that you’re in a pinch\nSome games are won by the inch\nThe motto of the living man is\nDon’t make that same mistake\nOh, you just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake\nSay it again, you just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake\nHey, Lord\nOver and over again\nHallelujah\nOver and over again\nTake it home\nYou just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake\nYou just can’t win\nBy making that same mistake…
