Lyrics Don't Blame Me - Count Basie, Joe Newman, Shirley Scott

Don't Blame Me

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!
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
Ican’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
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
Ican’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
