Don't Make Me Pay (For Another Girl's Mistake) - Thelma Houston

Hey baby, can we talk?

You know, somehow I think we might be having a problem

And I don’t want our love to suffer from

Something that happened in your past

So if you care anything at all, about this love we share

Baby, would you please, please for me, just…

Cancel all bad memories?

Clear your heart for you and me

Don’t compare our love in any way

With yesterday, stop today

Don’t make me pay for another girl’s mistakes

I’ve got my own to make

Let’s make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it

Don’t make me pay for another girl’s mistakes

I’ve got my own to make

Let’s make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it

And take the guard down from your love

There is nothing that I’ve done

Don’t hold back the way you really feel

Inside for me, let it be

Don’t make me pay for another girl’s mistakes

I’ve got my own to make

Let’s make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it

Don’t make me pay for another girl’s mistakes

I’ve got my own to make

Let’s make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it

Now hold on, baby, just… just wait a minute

Now, I’m not accusing you

(Let's make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it)

Somehow, I think you’re holding back the very thing I need

To let me know how you feel about me

Oh, is that it?

Oh baby, remove those fears and doubts

I’d never hurt you, baby… you see, I love you

(Let's make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it)

And I’m so sorry for what she’s sent you through

And believe me, I can understand it

But baby, we can never grow until…

(Let's make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it)

You leave her out, and let me in

Don’t make me pay for another girl’s mistakes

I’ve got my own to make (ooh, baby)

Let’s make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it, no

('Cause I love you, baby)

Don’t make me pay for another girl’s mistakes

I’ve got my own to make (ooh, darling…)

Let’s make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it

Don’t make me pay for another girl’s mistakes

I’ve got my own to make

Let’s make a new start of it, I wasn’t a part of it, baby
