Lyrics for Song: Who's Gonna Take The Blame
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Smokey Robinson
We were just kids playing in the rain
When you threw a stone
And you broke a window pane
You were so afraid of what you done
That I held your hand little one
And I wouldn't let you run
Then you turned to me
With a look of shame on your face
And your eyes asked a question ever so tenderly
Oh, who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Right then, I knew, how it would always be
Put the blame, put it on me
Ooh, at the age of twelve
You were a fine young thing
But I felt much older 'cause I had to shoulder
The trouble you'd bring
Like the time you pushed Sonny down
And she cried on me
With those same big eyes
You turned and you looked at me
Oh, who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Right then, I knew, how it would always be
Put the blame, put it on me
Put it on me, put it on me
Now you're all grown up
And you're running wild
And they're so surprised
'Cause all along you seemed
Like such a sweet child
And there's nothing but bad news
From old friends I meet
How you've become
A woman of the street
And they give me a million
And one reasons why
But when I analyze it
I know where the real fault lies
Oh, who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
No doubt about it, oh, this time rightfully
Put the blame, put it on me.
Oh, who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Put the blame, put it on me
Oh, who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Put the blame
