They've Only Themselves to Blame |
| I’m afraid that from today our meeting |
| Must be temporarily postponed |
| It seems our parents followed us one evening |
| Caught us walking one another home |
| Now I have been confined till further notice |
| Told I should be thoroughly ashamed |
| And for all the good that it will do me |
| They’ve only themselves to blame |
| I don’t understand a word they’re saying |
| Telling me it’s for our own good |
| Do they think that we’re just children playing |
| How can we be so misunderstood |
| I am a man the same as any other |
| Younger though I may be in my years |
| Tell me I’m a child who should know better |
| And you won’t see me holding back the tears |
| Can’t they get it through their heads I love you |
| Must I try so hard to explain |
| If we’re reported missing in the morning |
| Then they’re only themselves to blame |
| They’ve only themselves to blame |
