Don’t Make Me Pay (For Another Girl’s Mistake) Lyrics by Thelma Houston

Any Way You Like It

1976

[Intro]
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...
[Verse 1]
Cancel all bad memories?
Clear your heart for you and me
Don't compare our love in any way
With yesterday, stop today
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
