Need lyrics for My Mistake by The King Bees

Found a pretty accurate one here:—

http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/beneaththedarkness/mymistake.htm

However I reckon the second & third line is wrong & ought to be like this:

You and I been goin' steady for over a year
And then we suddenly started feelin like the end was near
My love is dyin, but I can't hide it
I'm sorry honey but I wanna ride

I saw a real fine girl at the market place
She had a nice way of walkin' and a real fine face
A voice like a man, I don't understand
I'm sorry Jake, but it's my mistake

Well, it's my (my), my (my), my (my), my mistake
Yes, she's my (my), my (my), my (my), my mistake
Aw get it right now, honey

[Solo]

I had to choose between school and a rock 'n roll band
I made up my mind to rock as fast as I can
I don't want no teachers or their rules
You got it right, I'm nobody's fool

But you can't trust nobody like you trust your dog
Too many people got smiles then they lie like a log
It's hard to place an honest face
I'm sorry honey, but it's my mistake

Well, it's my (my), my (my), my (my), my mistake
Yes, she's my (my), my (my), my (my), my mistake
Well, it's my (my), my (my), my (my), my mistake
Yes, she's my (my), my (my), my (my), my mistake


Pete.

Nice job, I wore this record out in college (1983-1984) and just listened to the song with headphones on and your lyrics are on the money. Jamie James is a genius!
