Artist/Band: Gilbert O'Sullivan
Lyrics for Song: They've Only Themselves to Blame
Lyrics for Album: I'm A Writer , Not A Fighter [1973]



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


Album Lyrics: I'm A Writer , Not A Fighter [1973]
