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
Yes, I've made my mistakes, but listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman
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
My mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman
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
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
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 let me down
Yes, I've made my mistakes, but listen and understand
My mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman
