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 doggone moon above
Makes me want
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

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

Blame all your charms
That melt in my arms
But don’t blame me
