Smokey Robinson - I Don't Blame You At All lyrics

rate me

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool<br />

You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool<br />

No no no no no<br />

I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise<br />

'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes<br />

& what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise<br />

Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...<br />

<br />

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool<br />

I should've did it myself<br />

You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool<br />

No no no no no<br />

I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain<br />

Every bet I made was all in vain<br />

'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain<br />

Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause...<br />

<br />

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool<br />

I should've did it myself<br />

You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool<br />

No no no no no<br />

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool<br />

That's the thing to do<br />

You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool<br />

No no no no no<br />

<br />

(instrumental)<br />

<br />

I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead<br />

Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cause...<br />

<br />

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool<br />

I should've did it myself<br />

You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool<br />

No no no no no<br />

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool<br />

'Cause that's the thing to do<br />

You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool<br />

No no no no no<br />
