Lyrics
- Ever since the lucky night I found you
I’ve hung around you, just like a fool
Falling head and heels in love
Like a kid out of school
My poor heart is in an awful state now
But it’s too late now to call a halt
So if I become a nuisance
It’s all your fault!
Chorus
Don’t blame me
For falling in love with you
I’m under your spell
But how can I help it
Don’t’ blame me
Can’t you see
When you do the things you do
If I can’t conceal
The thrill that I’m feeling
Don’t blame me
I can’t help it
If that doggoned moon above
Makes me need
Someone like you to love
Blame your kiss
As sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms
That melt in my arms
But don’t blame me
- I like every single thing about you
Without a doubt you are like a dream
In my mind I find a picture of us as a team
Ever since the hour of our meeting
I’ve been repeating a silly phrase
Hoping that you’ll understand me
One of these days
