Put the Blame On Me
Elvis Presley · Something for Everybody
If they say we were doinÂ’ wrong
If they say we were out too long
Well, you can say
My arms were just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me
Felt so good when I held you tight
CouldnÂ’t stop when we kissed goodnight
So if they tell us we donÂ’t heave the right
Put the blame, put the blame on me
What I feel is deep inside
This is real and I wonÂ’t hide
Go ahead, use my name
IÂ’ll be proud to take the blame
You just did what I made you do
You love me and I love you
So if the way they talk can bother you
Put the blame, put the blame on me
If they say we were out too long
Well, you can say
My arms were just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me
Felt so good when I held you tight
CouldnÂ’t stop when we kissed goodnight
So if they tell us we donÂ’t heave the right
Put the blame, put the blame on me
What I feel is deep inside
This is real and I wonÂ’t hide
Go ahead, use my name
IÂ’ll be proud to take the blame
You just did what I made you do
You love me and I love you
So if the way they talk can bother you
Put the blame, put the blame on me
