I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me

I know this was my fault but
How much should it cost
To make things right?
Do I have to pay for life?

We all fall short sometimes
And I'm guilty of that crime
But I just wanna make you see
That you can still believe in me

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me

Speak to me
Let me know how you feel
If you feel like you can hold on and be strong
I will never leave you lonely

I cry sometimes 'cause I make you cry
And that ain't right
I won't make the same mistake twice
Baby please forgive me

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me

No I can't erase the wrong I've done
But I hope you can give me another chance
'Cause if you were me you would want the same
And I'd give that chance to you

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back from me

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood, Amen
I'm only human
And I'm gonna make mistakes

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take your joy away from me
Don't turn your back on me

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am, I'm only a man
So don't take my joy away
Don't turn your back on me

I know, I made mistakes
I am what I am
