Blame It On My Youth

Carmen McRae · Other Songs - Carmen McRae

You were my adored one

Then you became the bored one

And I was like a toy that brought you joy one day

A broken toy that you preferred to throw away



If I expected love when first we kissed, blame it on my youth

If only just for you I did exist, blame it on my youth

I believed in everything like a child of three

You meant more than anything all the world to me



If you were on my mind all night and the day, blame it on my youth

If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray, blame it on my youth

And if I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth

Don't blame it on my heart, blame it on my youth
