Don't Blame Me
Love's Spell: Embracing Passion, Erroll Garner's 'Don't Blame Me'
Lyrics
Ever since the lucky night I found you
Expressing the discovery of someone special and the beginning of a romantic connection.
I've hung around you just like a fool
Describing a strong attachment or infatuation, emphasizing a sense of foolishness.
Falling head and heels in love like a kid out of school.
Portraying deep, youthful love, using the analogy of a kid in school.
My poor heart is in an awful state now
Conveying emotional turmoil and distress in the present state of the heart.
But it's too late now to call a halt
Recognizing the irreversibility of the situation, suggesting it's too late to change course.
So if I become a nuisance it's all your fault!
Humorously attributing any potential annoyance to the person being addressed.
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
Acknowledging responsibility for falling in love, despite potential challenges.
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Expressing being captivated or enchanted by the person, implying lack of control.
Don't' blame me!
Reiterating not to blame the speaker for the love that has developed.
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
Observing the impact of the actions performed by the person on the speaker's emotions.
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Unable to conceal the excitement or joy caused by the person's behavior.
Don't blame; me.
Repeating the plea not to place blame for the emotions experienced.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Indicating a lack of control over romantic feelings, attributing it to external factors like the moon.
Makes me need someone like you to love!
Expressing a need for someone like the person being addressed due to the influence of celestial bodies.
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
Attributing the sweetness of a kiss and the person's charms to the cause of the speaker's emotions.
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
Emphasizing the impact of the person's charms, particularly when embraced.
But don't blame me.
Repeating the refrain not to assign blame despite the overwhelming feelings.
I like every single thing about you
Expressing admiration for every aspect of the person being addressed.
Without a doubt you are like a dream
Comparing the person to a dream, suggesting an idealized perception.
In my mind I find a picture of us as a team
Imagining a future together as a united and harmonious team.
Ever since the hour of our meeting
Reflecting on the time since the initial meeting and the persistence of certain thoughts.
I've been repeating a silly phrase
Describing the repetition of a phrase in the hope of being understood by the person.
Hoping that you'll understand me one of these days.
Expressing a desire for mutual understanding in the future.
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
Reiterating the acknowledgment of responsibility for falling in love.
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Re-emphasizing being under the influence of the person's spell, highlighting a lack of control.
Don't' blame me!
Repeating the plea not to blame the speaker for the emotions experienced.
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
Highlighting the impact of the person's actions on the speaker's emotional state.
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Inability to conceal the thrill or excitement caused by the person's behavior.
Don't blame; me.
Reiterating the plea not to assign blame for the emotions experienced.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Attributing romantic feelings to external factors, specifically the moon.
