Don't Blame Me

Lyrics
Ever since the lucky night I found you

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!

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!

In my mind I find a picture of us as a team
Imagining a future together as a cohesive and harmonious 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.
