Little River Band Don't Blame Me
I was just thirteen when I left home,
Living in my daddy's shadow,
There was so much goin' on that he couldn't feel.
There were times when I was scared as hell,
But nobody cared, and I could tell
That the love he spoke of just wasn' treal.
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
I love to travel on the back-road,
It's the only life for me,
I know when to go, I sense when to go back, I wanna be free.
There are days when I can move the earth,
And times when I've found what people are worth,
And I can't accept the way we've come to be.
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Then a lady came into my life
She turned me upside down,
I was so naive, I had my heart in my own sleeve,
I love to see her around.
There were times when I was glad to pay the price,
But there were nights she was cold as ice,
So I ran away, and I'm still running now.
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me,
Don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me,
Don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
I hate to have to disagree,
I only wanna be me.
Never can just go along
With the things I dislike, I can't help it if I wanna fight.
Don't wanna have to walk away,
Don't wanna stay another day.
You can't appreciate my point of view,
So I may as well as go, and you know that you could not blame me.
Don't blame me.
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me, don't blame me....
