Mistakes

I walk down the road
Let my body wake up by the way
You'll move, skate around the room
See my body ache, my body shake, boom boom
Even when I make a mistake
Even when I make a mistake, mistake, mistake
It's much better than that
I dance like Elaine
But my baby takes me to the floor, says: More, more
Eyes close to stares
My baby takes, my body shares, lights flare
Even when I make a mistake
Even when I make a mistake, mistake, mistake
It's much better than that
When I make a mistake
Turns out it's great, it's great, it's great
I'm much better than that
It's much better than that
Even when I make a mistake
Even when I make a mistake, mistake
Turns out great
Even when you're late, you're late, you're late
It's much better than that
It's much better than that
It's much better than that
