Solomon Burke: Music
The Error of My Ways
The Error Of My Ways
(Candy Burke, Willie Mitchell)
I know this sounds crazy
Me down here on my knees
Listen to me baby
I’ve learned a few things
My soul had me searching
For a new place to roam
I’d be happy, happy on my own
Well it’s been a few hours
It’s been a few days
Since I’ve seen
The error of my ways
So now, you got me where you want me
Don’t let this love slip away
I lost you once before
But this time I’m here to stay
Regrets, I can’t take away
And the tears I made fall
Would you believe me, baby
I’m not happy at all
Well, it’s been a few hours
It’s been a few days
Since I’ve seen
The error, the error of my ways,
Oh baby…
I told you it was over,
Over, done and gone.
Now my heart’s runnin’,
Runnin’, runnin’ back to you
Days have been lonely
And when the night seems to fall
The strength of this man
has vanished and gone.
Well, it’s been a few hours
It’s been a few days
Since I’ve seen
The errors of my ways
I thought I could leave you,
Never look back.
Faced with decision,
Faced with the facts
I must be out of my mind,
To lose someone like you.
Just say the word, girl
whatever I need to do.
Well it’s been a few hours
It’s been a few days
Since I’ve seen
The error of my ways.
