Verse:

Ever since the lucky night I found you,  I've hung around you, just like a fool.
Falling head and heels in love,  Like a kid out of school.
My poor heart is in an awful state now,  But its too late now,  to call a halt,
So if I become a nuisance,  It's all your fault!

 

Chorus:

Don't Blame Me for falling in love with you,

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!
I can't help it if that doggoned moon above,
Makes me need,  someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss,  as sweet as a kiss can be,

And blame all your charms,  that melt in my arms but Don't Blame Me!
